2) 4th LS Undergrad Rsrch Conf.

4th LS Undergrad Rsrch Conf.

DEADLINE TO SUBMIT ABSTRACT IS APRIL 2nd!!!
Fourth Annual Legal Studies Undergraduate Research Conference ? Friday, April 27, 2012

The Fourth Annual Legal Studies Undergraduate Research Conference celebrates the scholarship and creativity of the Berkeley undergraduate student body through an afternoon that focuses on law- related research. The conference will take place at the Center for the Study of Law & Society (CSLS), Jurisprudence & Social Policy Program, and at Berkeley Law. Berkeley Law and the Legal Studies department are co-sponsoring the conference.

This conference is open to all students who have completed or are doing research on a topic related to law (e.g. criminal justice, courts, civil and human rights, poverty and the law, health and the law, conflict resolution, etc.). At previous conferences, participants included undergraduates from departments such as History, International and Area Studies, Rhetoric, Political Science, Chicano Studies, Gender and Women?s Studies, Classics, Economics, Psychology, Philosophy, English, Legal Studies, and Media Studies.

Each participant is asked to have a 10-15 minute presentation on their work. Each panel of undergraduate presenters is moderated by knowledgeable graduate students who will help guide discussion from audience members. The conference is an excellent opportunity for undergraduates to present their work, to meet and receive feedback from graduate students and faculty, and to build academic credentials. We will begin the day with a celebratory lunch provided courtesy of the Berkeley Law and the Legal Studies department, and continue with presentations throughout the afternoon. We will end with a reception to honor the participants at the Center for the Study of Law and Society. Professors, friends and family are welcome to attend.

Who Can Participate? Any student who is writing about law, broadly construed, and will author a paper of at least 10 pages in length by the end of Spring 2012. The papers can be theses in progress, class papers, independent study projects, or other academic work.

Proposals must be in the form of an abstract of not more than 500 words and must be submitted by 5:00 PM on Monday, April 2, 2012 in order to be considered for the conference.

Please email abstracts to jamie.rowen@gmail.com with the subject line: Legal Studies Conference

Questions may also be directed to the Legal Studies Teaching Fellow, Jamie Rowen, at jamie.rowen@gmail.com

3) Aid to North Korea

Aid to North Korea

LiNK at Cal is challenging you to join us in FASTING for NORTH KOREA March 19-22!


Fast for NK is an annual event that we host to raise awareness of human rights and food issues in North Korea. Last year, we were able to raise $2500 and rescue one refugee! This year, we hope to raise enough this year to rescue 2 refugees (about $4000).
We ask that you fast with us for 4 days, only consuming about a cup of rice a day, which is the approximate official ration in North Korea.
By donating the amount you would have spent on food during the week, you will be helping us to rescue two North Korean refugees.
Rice is provided, and we invite you join us for a free Breaking of the Fast event on Thursday, to eat together and learn more about how you can make a difference.

**If you choose not to fast, you can still donate and help out!

To sign up:?http://tinyurl.com/89onh7q
To donate online:?http://fastfornk2012.eventbrite.com/

Thanks in advance for your interest and growing heart for North Korea. (:
