Canned Immunity: COVID-19 EDITION

L.A.W. (Law Association for Women) knows you are burnt out, tired, and counting down the days until Thanksgiving just so you can have a break. Due to most classes switching to online formats, the L.A.W. executive board decided to move Canned Immunity onto a virtual platform!

The rules are still the same, $2 or 2 cans per ticket or $5 or 5 cans for three tickets. Tickets can be used to receive “immunity” from being called on in selected classes. Email your ticket to your professor the day you want to use the ticket.

One ticket may be used per class. Please see the list of participating professors and restrictions. L.A.W. and Professors will be implementing the Honor Code on ticket usage.

Due do COVID-19 there are many food insecure families in our area who need help, especially around the holidays. It would be shameful to take advantage of Canned Immunity and the work L.A.W. has put in to lie about ticket usage.

The Alaska Bar Association announces a scholarship program for Alaskans in law school.  As the only state without a law school, our applicants come from law schools all over the country.  This scholarship is aimed at Alaska students who demonstrate ties to Alaska, and the intent to return to Alaska after graduation.  Applications can be found on the Alaska Bar Association website and they are due March 1.  To view the flyer, click here.

Hello,

Please join us for The Color of Law: Race, Racism and Public Policy in America on Friday, November 20, 2020, from 11 a.m. – 12:20 p.m. via livestream.  Historian and best-selling author Richard Rothstein will discuss the ways in which government policies, well into the 20th Century, created and reinforced racial segregation in America. Rothstein’s book, The Color of Law, is an extremely important contribution to our national conversation on race and has been celebrated across the political spectrum. Following his presentation, Rothstein will answer selected questions from the audience.  Please see the attached flyer for more information.

This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Ethics and Human Values at The Ohio State University, the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron and the City Club of Cleveland.
