A CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS from the Coalition for Equality
Volunteer Meeting: WEDNESDAY, NOV 2, 12:30-1:30 PM, EW 200
On Friday, Nov. 11, Boston College Law School will be hosting New England's premiere academic conference on the issues surrounding Rumsfeld v. FAIR, a case scheduled for oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court on Dec. 6 that will challenge the Solomon Amendment, the federal law that strips funding from universities that distinguish military recruiters from other employers during the recruitment process. "Rumsfeld v. FAIR: Exploring the Solomon Amendment Challenge at Boston College Law School" which is sponsored by the Coalition for Equality, in collaboration with ACS and the Federalist Society, is a completely student-run conference, and will be the East Coast's most in-depth treatment of this important case. Over 25 distinguished constitutional scholars from across New England and across the country will be featured at Boston College Law School for a full day of panels, a luncheon address by the lawyer who will be arguing in the Supreme Court one month from now, and a full-bench moot court of the case, all in previewing a case that was initiated by students at our school 10 years ago.
In order to make such an event run smoothly, we will need a substantial number of volunteers. We will need help both in advance of the conference and on the day of the conference. All students who can give even a few moments of their time to help in any capacity, from logistics, to programming, to simply addressing envelopes, are invited to attend a meeting on Weds, Nov. 2, from 12:30-1:30 in room EW200. This event will prove to be one of the most exciting in recent BC Law history, and we hope you'll consider contributing to its success.
