National Lawyers Guild Chapter had a busy summer. Ethan Wolf interned with the Physicians Committee for Responsibile Medicine to end live animal testing in medical schools. Scott Haapala worked to develop a series of electronic dance music events to increased voter participation. Joseph Kelly interned with the People’s Law Resource Center. As well, Joseph Kelly and Miles Swanson organized teams of NLG Legal Observers for the RNC Demonstrations in NYC. Both were falsely arrested during the demonstrations and face charges of disorderly conduct.
The UDC-DCSL
NLG Chapter has recently helped form a NLG Student Committee for D.C. and
has been planning a citywide law student disorientation event in conjunction
with several other law schools in the area. The event will take place on September
18th at George Washington Law School and will feature a series of speakers
on topics such as How to Survive Law School, How to Find a Public Interest
Internship and other Vollunter Opportunities, and Staying True to the
Public Interest Commitment.
The UDC-DCSL
Chapter is also sending students to the national convention in Birmingham,
AL in
late October. Scholarships for people of colour and a limited number of need
based scholarships are available.
