Mixer for the chapter and all law students.
Criminal Law - Beyond the Doctrine
Join ACS for a Beyond the Doctrine panel discussing Addressing the Peril: Seeking Better Legal Outcomes for Criminalized Survivors, a recent report published by the Stanford Criminal Justice Center. The panel will feature Debbie Mukamal, Executive Director of the Center, Robert Weisberg, Professor of Law and Faculty Co-Director of the Center, and SLS students Wyndham Ermini and Anna Zannetos, who contributed to the Addressing the Peril report.
The conversation will draw on work from the Regilla Project, a long-running research and policy initiative that examines how survivors of intimate partner violence are criminalized, with particular attention to women incarcerated for homicide and related offenses. Drawing on original in-prison survey research and policy analysis, the panel will explore how core criminal law doctrines governing charging decisions, homicide liability, defenses, evidence, sentencing, and parole often fail to account for the realities of abuse and trauma, and what these gaps reveal about the limits of existing criminal law frameworks for addressing survivor-defendants. Lunch will be provided.
ACS and BLSA - Reflections from the Bench: Experiences of Black Judges
Please join BLSA and ACS for an exciting lunch panel featuring local Black judges from a variety of courts and practice areas as they share their unique experiences as Black judges in our judicial system.
Lunch provided as available!
ACS - North Carolina Justice Center Speaker Event
The North Carolina Justice Center's Eli Longnecker and Shray Shetty will join us to talk about the work that they do at NCJC and how law students can be involved in this type of justice work in their careers.
LAWBreaks Golf in the Subs
Please show up to support Michigan Law LAWBreaks at the annual Golf in the Subs event! LAWBreaks gives Michigan Law students the opportunity to spend Spring Break supporting a public interest organization (usually in another city!). The mission of the program is to provide public-interest-minded students with a structured opportunity to explore the kinds of organizations and the work that they can commit their careers to. (It is especially critical at a place like Michigan, where the push toward Big Law is real and well-supported.)
Golf in the Subs is an annual fundraiser where students take over the library for an evening of mini-golf competitions. ACS at Michigan Law is proud to help support LAWBreaks by providing dinner for this year's event. All proceeds will go to covering travel and lodging stipends for LAWBreaks participants.
UND ACS- General Meeting
UND ACS is having our general spring informational meeting. Please come and talk with the UND board, find out more about our events this semester, and put in your recommendations for our UND ACS Spring ProBono project. Lunch will be provided.
