We also plan to coordinate activities with the Boston Bar Association. We will participate in a book drive where we will present the Bar Association a check for the book drive at their annual Law Day Dinner May 23. We are still trying to work out details for the paralegals to assist attorneys in the classroom mock trials, and we are trying to coordinate Law Day in the schools in Essex County. The Plymouth County Bar Association, the oldest county bar association in the U.S., is planning to hold a Law Day Celebration in conjunction with the opening of the new courthouse in Brockton, Massachusetts. 333 Faunce Corner Rd., North Dartmouth.
Admission is free.
Harvard Law School Professor Charles J. Ogletree, Jr. will moderate the two-part forum. Part one examines the media's role in promoting and combating racial and ethnic stereotyping in both mainstream media outlets and college and university publications. Television reporter Charles Austin, Boston Globe columnist Adrian Walker, Emerson College professor of media arts Robert Hilliard, Cape Verdean News reporter Thomas Lopes and Attorney Robert Brill of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith will join other members of the media and legal professions in conducting this seminar. The second portion of the program examines racial profiling and its prevention. The goal is to advise the public of the services available to them through various agencies in the area and also the services that the Court has to offer.
