The film showing was followed by a discussion by a group almost equally divided between law students and faculty. Among other things, students at this session asked that we bring in lawyers who are currently doing social justice work to talk to them about their practices. This book was selected by last month's participants with the idea that we would benefit from a biography of a lawyer who dedicated his or her life to social justice issues. We will continue with the Arthur Kinoy, Rights on Trial book and see the rest of the video, Doing Justice. All students and faculty are welcome to attend, even if they haven't been able to read the book or haven't seen the first half of the video.
Discussions are vigorous and open.
