This is a networking event between students and practicing professionals to build connections as students prepare for graduation. It will be from February 22nd from 4:00pm to 6:00pm; check in starts at 3:45pm. The address is the Vermont Law and Graduate Burlington Campus at 126 College Street, Suite 410 Burlington, VT 05401. Professionals are asked to prepare for questions about how they got to their position/career and what motivates them. This event is being co-hosted with the First-Generation Law Student Association, so many students will be first generation law students. We highly encourage students at Vermont Law and Graduate School and professionals in the Burlington area willing to meet with students to attend!

The American Constitution Society (ACS) will be hosting a tenant rights panel next Friday Feb. 21 from 2:30 to 3:30. The Panel will include Rep. Izzy Smith-Wade-El and Rita Eichman, Esq. from the SeniorLAW Center. The panel will discuss an evolving field of rights in Pennsylvania with new Right to Counsel laws and an increased sense of “Tenant Rights.” Topics will include Right to Counsel, eviction sealing, the importance of local courts, and much more! Feel free to bring your own questions!

This is a Happy Hour to meet the current folks organizing the American Constitution Society. This offers you a chance to ask questions about the organization, get to know people outside of the law school context, and talk about ways you’d like to get involved! There may be professionals there that you can meet, but this is a casual event that is meant to offer you a break from the stress of law school for a few hours!

Richard Rothstein is a Distinguished Fellow of the Economic Policy Institute and a Senior Fellow (emeritus) at the Thurgood Marshall Institute of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. He is the author of The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America, which recovers a forgotten history of how federal, state, and local policy explicitly segregated metropolitan areas nationwide, creating racially homogenous neighborhoods in patterns that violate the Constitution and require remediation. He is also the author of many other articles and books on race and education.

Previous influential books include Class and Schools: Using Social, Economic and Educational Reform to Close the Black–White Achievement Gap and Grading Education: Getting Accountability Right. 

Please join Richard Rothstein in conversation with ACS & Law of the Land.
