U.S. District Court: "Courtroom as Classroom"
Event. The United States District Court is offering a
program, "The Courtroom as Classroom," for Chicago-Kent
students on Wednesday, October 13, 3:30-5:00 pm. If
you would like to attend, please RSVP to Denise Lang (DLANG)
so that we can provide a rough estimate of attendance to the
District Court. Although the program is open to all students,
first-year students are particularly encouraged to attend.
The program provides an introduction to federal court practice
and procedures. Each law school in the district is given its
own day to send students to hear from a variety of speakers
drawn as much as possible from graduates of the law school.
Speakers typicially include a U.S.District Judge; U.S. Magistrate
Judge; U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge; Assistant U.S. Attorney;
and Federal Defender Program Staff Attorney.
The program will be held in the Parsons Memorial Courtroom,
Rm. 2525, on the 25th Floor of the Dirksen Federal Building,
219 South Dearborn Street. The Dirksen Building is within
walking distance; transportation will not be provided. (Walk
east on Adams Street to Dearborn Street; the Dirksen Building
is on the southeast corner of Adams and Dearborn.) You should
plan to arrive at least 10-15 minutes early, as it can take
time to get through the security checkpoint. You should then
proceed directly to the 25th Floor. Please bring a photo ID
with you, but do not bring cameras or any personal protection
devices (weapons, pocket knives, pepper spray, etc.).
Joke of the week. "In my next life I want to
come back as a weatherman. That way I can be dead wrong 80
percent of the time and not get fired." (Tony Kornheiser)
