Week of September 23, 2002

From Professor Nancy Marder

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.

From Professor Mark Rosen

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 Web site at http://lawreview.kentlaw.edu, calling (312) 906-5190, or faxing information to (312) 906-5280.
