Happy Lunar New Year from everyone on the APALSA exec board! Tomorrow marks the beginning of the new lunar year, which is the year of the ox.
The horoscope for the ox is as follows:
Those born under the influence of the Ox are fortunate to be stable and persevering. The typical Ox is a tolerant person with strong character. Not many people could equal the resolution and fearlessness the Ox exhibits when deciding to accomplish a task or an objective. As we used this great creature long ago to plow the soil day after day, so do Ox people labor through their daily responsibilities either at work or at home without complaint or gripe. Oxen know they will succeed through hard work and sustained effort and find no truth or benefit in concocting get-rich-quick schemes.
People born in the following years are born in the year of the ox:
Feb. 19, 1901 - Feb. 7, 1902
Feb. 6, 1913 - Feb. 25, 1914
Jan. 25, 1925 - Feb. 12, 1926
Feb. 11, 1937 - Jan. 30, 1938
Jan. 29, 1949 - Feb. 16, 1950
Feb. 15, 1961 - Feb. 4, 1962
Feb. 3, 1973 - Jan. 22, 1974
Feb. 20, 1985 - Feb. 8, 1986
Feb. 7, 1997 - Jan. 27, 1998
Jan. 26, 2009 - Feb. 13, 2010
Fun fact: President Barack Obama was born in the year of the ox.

9. Fordham--SKKU Summer Institute in International Law in Seoul
Deadline for Summer Program: March 31
Fordham University School of Law and Sungkyunkwan University College of Law are pleased to co-sponsor the third annual Summer Law Institute, a three week academic program in international and comparative law in Seoul, Korea from June 10-27, 2008. 74 U.S. and Canadian students from 33 law schools attended the 2008 program. In its first three years, the Institute enrolled nearly 300 students from 5 countries and 60 law schools, including students from the law schools at American University, Boston College, Boston University, Chicago-Kent, Cornell, Duke, George Washington, Hastings, Illinois, Loyola-LA, McGill, NYU, Texas, Tulane, UC-Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and University of San Diego.
Students may enroll in three credit hours by taking one of the following courses: International Commercial Arbitration, and International Business Transactions, and Public International Law. These courses will be taught in English by distinguished tenured faculty from Fordham and the University of Virginia Law Schools. The program will also offer optional Korean language lessons for those students interested in learning some basic Korean. Students will be able to enroll in three credit hours during the program, and the courses are approved by the ABA for credit toward the J.D. degree.
After the conclusion of the Summer Institute's academic program, the Institute will place U.S. and Canadian participants who would like to stay in Korea in 5-week internships at the Korean supreme and constitutional courts, Korean government ministries, the Korean National Assembly, multi-national corporations, human rights organizations, and law firms. Students may choose to
receive three ungraded academic credits for internships. Students opting for academic credits will have priority in internship placements and program housing over non-credit internship applicants.
Program students will also tour the Korean National Court, the Supreme Court, the National Prosecutor's Office and the Foreign Ministry, and attend an extensive selection of extra-curricular tours and social events that enable students to experience Korean cultural life.
To find out more about this extraordinary program, please visit our website at: http://law.fordham.edu/korea/ or contact the Executive Director, Leighanne Yuh, at lyuh@law.fordham.edu, 212-636-7571.

10. East Bay Community Law Center (EBLC) Summer 2009 Internship
The East Bay Community Law Center (EBCLC) is seeking full-time interns for its 2009 Summer Program. EBCLC is the community-based clinical for Berkeley Law School (University of California, Boalt Hall) during the academic year. EBCLC provides free civil legal services to low-income clients of Alameda County, California. During our summer session EBCLC welcomes students from all law schools.
What is the East Bay Community Law Center?
The East Bay Community Law Center (EBCLC) is a nationally-recognized poverty law clinic founded by Boalt students in 1988 with the dual mission of providing high quality legal services to low-income clients and first-rate clinical education to law students.
The seven practice groups at EBCLC are:
- Clean Slate (community reentry/criminal records remedies)
- Community Economic Justice (policy and community/social change work)
- Community Legal Access Service Site (multidisciplinary/self-help center)
- Health: HIV/AIDS Project and Medical-Legal Partnership (multidisciplinary)
- Health: Immigration (administrative/litigation)
- Housing & Eviction Defense (litigation)
- Income and Employment Support (administrative and regulatory/policy and community)
Why should I intern at EBCLC?
- Gain Hands-on Lawyering Experience: EBCLC offers you the opportunity to put your classroom learning to work and to gain a broad range of experience in the real-life practice of law. With extensive substantive law and skills training, you have primary responsibility for your cases or projects, including conducting client interviews, counseling clients, negotiating settlements, drafting pleadings and representing clients in administrative hearings and court proceedings.
- Receive Close, High-Quality Supervision: You choose a practice group and are assigned to work with one of EBCLC's clinical supervisors. Supervisors offer day-to-day direction on casework and projects, meet weekly to review your work, and organize unit-wide "case rounds" for all students within a practice group. You receive mid-semester and end-of-semester evaluations.
- Serve the Community: This is a very challenging time for the low-income community as legal needs are great and resources to address them are increasingly scarce. Law students continue to make a substantial contribution to meeting these needs!
- Build Your Resume: Non-profit employers and private law firms know that students at EBCLC have received first-rate training and supervision. The National Association of Law Placement reports that private-sector employers place a high value on the lawyering skills students learn in clinical settings such as EBCLC.
What is my time commitment if I intern at EBCLC?
The summer session is ten weeks long, Tuesday, May 26, 2009 through Friday, July 31, 2009. Interns are expected to work 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday. Workloads in any given week may vary due to the nature of a live client practice, but you will not regularly be required to work more hours that anticipated.
What qualifications must I have to intern at EBCLC?
No specific previous training or coursework is required, however, a demonstrated commitment to serving low-income, minority and underrepresented individuals and groups, and/or previous experience in one of our practice areas or in public interest law is highly desirable, as is second language ability in Spanish, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Cambodian, or Farsi. EBCLC staff will work with students to secure funding through fellowships from law schools and other public interest sources; however, we are unable to offer compensation for summer internship positions.
How do I apply?
Interested law students should submit a resume, 3 references (at least one of which should be employment-related; please include current email addresses), a short writing sample (5-10 pages), and a cover letter describing their experiences and interests to:
East Bay Community Law Center
Attn: Summer Hiring Committee
2921 Adeline Street
Berkeley, CA 94703
Candidates also may email their materials and/or questions to webinquiry@ebclc.org. We encourage candidates to visit EBCLC's website, www.ebclc.org, for more information about the office and summer program. We are currently accepting applications. Hiring decisions will be made on a rolling basis until positions are filled.

The East Bay Community Law Center (EBCLC) is seeking full-time interns for its 2009 Summer Program. EBCLC is the community-based clinical for Berkeley Law School (University of California, Boalt Hall) during the academic year. EBCLC provides free civil legal services to low-income clients of Alameda County, California. During our summer session EBCLC welcomes students from all law schools.
What is the East Bay Community Law Center?
The East Bay Community Law Center (EBCLC) is a nationally-recognized poverty law clinic founded by Boalt students in 1988 with the dual mission of providing high quality legal services to low-income clients and first-rate clinical education to law students.
The seven practice groups at EBCLC are:
- Clean Slate (community reentry/criminal records remedies)
- Community Economic Justice (policy and community/social change work)
- Community Legal Access Service Site (multidisciplinary/self-help center)
- Health: HIV/AIDS Project and Medical-Legal Partnership (multidisciplinary)
- Health: Immigration (administrative/litigation)
- Housing & Eviction Defense (litigation)
- Income and Employment Support (administrative and regulatory/policy and community)
Why should I intern at EBCLC?
- Gain Hands-on Lawyering Experience: EBCLC offers you the opportunity to put your classroom learning to work and to gain a broad range of experience in the real-life practice of law. With extensive substantive law and skills training, you have primary responsibility for your cases or projects, including conducting client interviews, counseling clients, negotiating settlements, drafting pleadings and representing clients in administrative hearings and court proceedings.
- Receive Close, High-Quality Supervision: You choose a practice group and are assigned to work with one of EBCLC's clinical supervisors. Supervisors offer day-to-day direction on casework and projects, meet weekly to review your work, and organize unit-wide "case rounds" for all students within a practice group. You receive mid-semester and end-of-semester evaluations.
- Serve the Community: This is a very challenging time for the low-income community as legal needs are great and resources to address them are increasingly scarce. Law students continue to make a substantial contribution to meeting these needs!
- Build Your Resume: Non-profit employers and private law firms know that students at EBCLC have received first-rate training and supervision. The National Association of Law Placement reports that private-sector employers place a high value on the lawyering skills students learn in clinical settings such as EBCLC.
What is my time commitment if I intern at EBCLC?
The summer session is ten weeks long, Tuesday, May 26, 2009 through Friday, July 31, 2009. Interns are expected to work 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday. Workloads in any given week may vary due to the nature of a live client practice, but you will not regularly be required to work more hours that anticipated.
What qualifications must I have to intern at EBCLC?
No specific previous training or coursework is required, however, a demonstrated commitment to serving low-income, minority and underrepresented individuals and groups, and/or previous experience in one of our practice areas or in public interest law is highly desirable, as is second language ability in Spanish, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Cambodian, or Farsi. EBCLC staff will work with students to secure funding through fellowships from law schools and other public interest sources; however, we are unable to offer compensation for summer internship positions.
How do I apply?
Interested law students should submit a resume, 3 references (at least one of which should be employment-related; please include current email addresses), a short writing sample (5-10 pages), and a cover letter describing their experiences and interests to:
East Bay Community Law Center
Attn: Summer Hiring Committee

Candidates also may email their materials and/or questions to webinquiry@ebclc.org.

8. Fordham--SKKU Summer Institute in International Law in Seoul
Deadline for Summer Program: March 31
Fordham University School of Law and Sungkyunkwan University College of Law are pleased to co-sponsor the third annual Summer Law Institute, a three week academic program in international and comparative law in Seoul, Korea from June 10-27, 2008. 74 U.S. and Canadian students from 33 law schools attended the 2008 program. In its first three years, the Institute enrolled nearly 300 students from 5 countries and 60 law schools, including students from the law schools at American University, Boston College, Boston University, Chicago-Kent, Cornell, Duke, George Washington, Hastings, Illinois, Loyola-LA, McGill, NYU, Texas, Tulane, UC-Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and University of San Diego.
Students may enroll in three credit hours by taking one of the following courses: International Commercial Arbitration, and International Business Transactions, and Public International Law. These courses will be taught in English by distinguished tenured faculty from Fordham and the University of Virginia Law Schools. The program will also offer optional Korean language lessons for those students interested in learning some basic Korean. Students will be able to enroll in three credit hours during the program, and the courses are approved by the ABA for credit toward the J.D. degree.
After the conclusion of the Summer Institute's academic program, the Institute will place U.S. and Canadian participants who would like to stay in Korea in 5-week internships at the Korean supreme and constitutional courts, Korean government ministries, the Korean National Assembly, multi-national corporations, human rights organizations, and law firms. Students may choose to
receive three ungraded academic credits for internships. Students opting for academic credits will have priority in internship placements and program housing over non-credit internship applicants.
Program students will also tour the Korean National Court, the Supreme Court, the National Prosecutor's Office and the Foreign Ministry, and attend an extensive selection of extra-curricular tours and social events that enable students to experience Korean cultural life.

You receive mid-semester and end-of-semester evaluations.
- Serve the Community: This is a very challenging time for the low-income community as legal needs are great and resources to address them are increasingly scarce. Law students continue to make a substantial contribution to meeting these needs!
- Build Your Resume: Non-profit employers and private law firms know that students at EBCLC have received first-rate training and supervision. The National Association of Law Placement reports that private-sector employers place a high value on the lawyering skills students learn in clinical settings such as EBCLC.
What is my time commitment if I intern at EBCLC?
The summer session is ten weeks long, Tuesday, May 26, 2009 through Friday, July 31, 2009. Interns are expected to work 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday. Workloads in any given week may vary due to the nature of a live client practice, but you will not regularly be required to work more hours that anticipated.
What qualifications must I have to intern at EBCLC?
No specific previous training or coursework is required, however, a demonstrated commitment to serving low-income, minority and underrepresented individuals and groups, and/or previous experience in one of our practice areas or in public interest law is highly desirable, as is second language ability in Spanish, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Cambodian, or Farsi. EBCLC staff will work with students to secure funding through fellowships from law schools and other public interest sources; however, we are unable to offer compensation for summer internship positions.
How do I apply?
Interested law students should submit a resume, 3 references (at least one of which should be employment-related; please include current email addresses), a short writing sample (5-10 pages), and a cover letter describing their experiences and interests to:

7. East Bay Community Law Center (EBLC) Summer 2009 Internship
The East Bay Community Law Center (EBCLC) is seeking full-time interns for its 2009 Summer Program. EBCLC is the community-based clinical for Berkeley Law School (University of California, Boalt Hall) during the academic year. EBCLC provides free civil legal services to low-income clients of Alameda County, California. During our summer session EBCLC welcomes students from all law schools.
What is the East Bay Community Law Center?
The East Bay Community Law Center (EBCLC) is a nationally-recognized poverty law clinic founded by Boalt students in 1988 with the dual mission of providing high quality legal services to low-income clients and first-rate clinical education to law students.
The seven practice groups at EBCLC are:
- Clean Slate (community reentry/criminal records remedies)
- Community Economic Justice (policy and community/social change work)
- Community Legal Access Service Site (multidisciplinary/self-help center)
- Health: HIV/AIDS Project and Medical-Legal Partnership (multidisciplinary)
- Health: Immigration (administrative/litigation)
- Housing & Eviction Defense (litigation)
- Income and Employment Support (administrative and regulatory/policy and community)
Why should I intern at EBCLC?
- Gain Hands-on Lawyering Experience: EBCLC offers you the opportunity to put your classroom learning to work and to gain a broad range of experience in the real-life practice of law. With extensive substantive law and skills training, you have primary responsibility for your cases or projects, including conducting client interviews, counseling clients, negotiating settlements, drafting pleadings and representing clients in administrative hearings and court proceedings.
- Receive Close, High-Quality Supervision: You choose a practice group and are assigned to work with one of EBCLC's clinical supervisors. Supervisors offer day-to-day direction on casework and projects, meet weekly to review your work, and organize unit-wide "case rounds" for all students within a practice group. You receive mid-semester and end-of-semester evaluations.
- Serve the Community: This is a very challenging time for the low-income community as legal needs are great and resources to address them are increasingly scarce. Law students continue to make a substantial contribution to meeting these needs!
- Build Your Resume: Non-profit employers and private law firms know that students at EBCLC have received first-rate training and supervision. The National Association of Law Placement reports that private-sector employers place a high value on the lawyering skills students learn in clinical settings such as EBCLC.

It is my pleasure to inform you of an amazing opportunity for your students (graduate or undergraduate) to intern in Washington, D.C. As Barack Obama becomes are 44th president, this will be a particularly interesting year to be a Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellow.
The Dell Thurmond Woodward Fellowship is part of the Eben Tisdale Fellowship. This Fellowship offers a $5,000 grant for students to intern where the latest in technology meets the public policy arena right here in Washington, D.C.
Please forward to any students who is interested in diversity and ethics issues and doing a high-tech public policy internship next summer. Thanks!

Coordinator, Tisdale Fellowship

The Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellowship, which includes one $5,000 grant for one student each year, is part of the Tisdale Fellowship program, a summer internship available to undergraduate and graduate students. Any student, undergraduate or graduate, who is interested in diversity and ethics issues, and in learning about high-tech public policy issues, can apply for this Fellowship.
The Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellowship was established in 2007 as an additional grant/internship opportunity within the Tisdale Fellowship. The Tisdale Fellowship is a high-tech public policy summer internship program in Washington, DC. The Dell Fellowship was created in memory of the late Thurmond Woodard, Dell's former Vice President of Global Diversity and Chief Ethics, Privacy and Compliance Officer. Those interested should use the Eben Tisdale Fellowship Application, and follow the instructions for submitting an additional essay on ethics and diversity. The Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellowship grant recipient will participate in the same program as those in the Tisdale Fellowship – an eight-week internship and weekly high-tech policy seminars.
The Fellowship has two main elements:
(1) Internship: Fellows do an eight-week internship in the government relations office of a leading high technology company or association. In the recent past, fellows have interned at such companies as Agilent Technologies, Hewlett-Packard, Philips Electronics and Infotech Strategies as well as associations such as the Business Software Alliance.
2) Issues Seminar: The issues seminar is a weekly lunch hosted by the different sponsoring companies and associations. Expert speakers lead discussions of current public policy issues in Washington, and the methods the high technology industry uses for effective advocacy. A new lecture on diversity and ethics has been added to the Tisdale Fellows' speaker series.
The Summer 2009 Fellowship runs from June 15th – August 7th, 2009. The goal of the Fellowship is to create a supportive and collegial environment in which a new class of public policy professionals will be mentored to help ensure that the high-tech industry continues to have highly capable and well-trained individuals in both policy advocacy and senior management positions.

Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund
======================
Asian American Election Protection and Poll Monitoring
Defending Asian American Voting Rights
======================
In past elections, Asian Americans have faced a series of barriers in exercising their right to vote. In addition, candidates and the news media have often overlooked the Asian American vote. In response, the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund has monitored the elections for compliance with the federal Voting Rights Act, which mandates bilingual ballots and forbids anti-Asian voter discrimination, and conducted a non-partisan multilingual survey of voters to document Asian American voting patterns.
In 2004, 1,200 volunteers polled almost 11,000 Asian American voters in eight states. Volunteers are needed to administer a multilingual voter survey in 3-hour shifts and document voting problems on Election Day. Polls are generally open from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
There will be a one-hour training session for all volunteers in various locations. (90-minutes with CLE credits). All volunteers must be non-partisan during the time they help. To sign up and for a training schedule, go to www.aaldef.net or complete the registration form attached or/and pasted below. Thank you!

APALSA will be holding an outlining session on October 14, Tuesday at 3:30pm in EW 115B. The purpose of this session is to give 1Ls an idea of how to create their outlines for finals. Several 2Ls and 3Ls will be explaining their own outlining processes to give 1Ls different perspectives. We will then get into smaller groups and have a quick Q and A session! If you have any questions feel free to e-mail Asuka at kondoa[at]bc.edu or Christine at christine.bang.1[at]bc.edu.
We hope everyone can make it to the workshop! We hope to see you there!

- Bartolomé de las Casas, a Spanish priest who sailed with Columbus and witnessed the Spaniards treatment of the indigenous people of Hispaniola, Guatemala, Peru, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Mexico.

About the Museum:
The Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center, a new state-of-the-art, tribally owned-and-operated complex, brings to life the story of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, and serves as a major resource on the history of the Tribe, the histories and cultures of other tribes, and the region's natural history.
Utilizing the latest in exhibit design and technology and based on years of discussion with Tribal members and scholarly research, the institution, with a total project cost of $193.4 million, presents multi-sensory dioramas and exhibits of eastern woodland and Mashantucket Pequot life. Films and videos, interactive programs, archival materials, ethnographic and archaeological collections, and commissioned works of art and traditional crafts by Native artisans are featured in the exhibits.
The 308,000-square-foot complex, whose research facility serves as a major resource for scholars and the general public on American and Canadian Native histories and cultures, is one of the most innovative and comprehensive centers of its kind in the United States.
