Student Workers Needed
The National Center for State Courts (NCSC) is looking for
four to six students who are willing to work about 10 hours
per week this semester for $15 per hour as coders for a
nationwide project.
Coders would go to the Daley Center to examine case files
and provide information about civil cases that resulted
in jury or bench trials. The project is part of a study
that NCSC is doing to enable the Bureau of Justice to update
its statistics nationwide.
If you are interested, please send your resume to Career
Services by Monday, September 23.

September 27 Symposium
On Friday, September 27 Chicago-Kent College of Law will
host an all-day symposium that explores law's role in contexts
in which there are deep cultural conflicts. Examined are
such issues as: Can law be neutral on such matters? Should
it? Should dissenting perspectives be protected? If so,
is such protection to minority views possible?
Robert C. Post, a professor at the University of California
at Berkeley School of Law, will give the keynote speech.
Subsequent panels will provide interdisciplinary analysis
of such issues that arise in respect of expression, religion
and family values. Participants include Robert F. Nagel
(University of Colorado School of Law), Steven J. Heyman
(Chicago-Kent College of Law), Susan J. Brison (Department
of Philosophy, Dartmouth University), Steven D. Smith (University
of San Diego School of Law), Mark D. Rosen (Chicago-Kent
College of Law), Steven H. Shiffrin (Cornell Law School),
Sarah Barringer Gordon (University of Pennsylvania Law School),
Nancy Bentley ( English Department, University of Pennsylvania),
and Nancy E. Dowd (University of Florida Levin College of
Law).
Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. at Chicago-Kent's campus,
which is located at 565 West Adams Street, Chicago. Lunch
is provided. The program is free and open to the public,
but attendees should register in advance by visiting the
