THE social event of the year, hosted by our chapter, is a Quizzo (Pub-Trivia) Competition. This year, 15 teams of 8 students, joined by Penn Professors and faculty members, battled it out for the title of "Quizzo Champion" on November 7. The winning team was "Frying Bacon", the Journal of Constitutional Law team (joined by Professor Kermit Roosevelt). The Best Team Name prize went to "Steven Burbank and the Special Masters" (in honor of Prof. Burbank's role as NFL Special Master in the Michael Vick hearings, which took place at Penn Law this fall). This event brought nearly 30 new members into our chapter and the National Organization.

In between rounds, we offered participants another opportunity to compete with each other - in our Charity Professor Art Auction. Professors and faculty at the Law School submitted hand-made crayon drawings for the auction. This event raised $640 for the Equal Justice Foundation's Summer Jackson-Healy Fund, a grant program for public interest work.

The Supreme Court's recent decision in Parents Involved (PICS) v. Seattle Schools represented an about-face in its educational diversity jurisprudence. Maree Sneed, partner at Hogan & Hartson, served as counsel of record on this landmark decision. She joined the Penn ACS Chapter and nearly 50 Penn Law students on Tuesday, October 30 to dicuss her involvement with the Seattle Schools litigation and its implications for future school integration efforts.

Penn Law's first ACS event of the school year was a rousing success. Professor Tobias Wolff and Akin Gump partner Tom Goldstein spoke to a packed house at our incoming students orientation on August 30th. The pair discussed their experiences with Supreme Court litigation, the implications of recent decisions, and several frameworks for analyzing the upcoming term. We look forward to events of equal caliber and substantial participation from the student body this year.
