Akron Law students invited and encouraged to attend the Asian Pacific American Law Student Association conference in Cleveland — Feb 22 and 23
The Asian American Bar Association of Northern Ohio is celebrating their twentieth year of existence. In connection with that celebration, they are partnering to hold the APALSA (Asian Pacific American Law Student Association) Midwesten conference at Case Western Reserve Law School on Friday February 22, 2013 and Saturday February 23, 2013. Although the conference is focused toward Asian American law students, non-Asian American law students are welcome and might also profit from the panel sessions and interacting with law students and practicing lawyers that will participate in the conference. Conference organizers have obtained sponsorship from several leading Ohio law firms and the Cleveland Marshall School of Law.
The conference will open on Friday evening with a gala dinner featuring a keynote speech by Justice Goodwin Liu of the California Supreme Court. Justice Liu’s nomination to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals by President Obama gained much national attention because he was viewed as a potential future nominee to the United States Supreme Court. On Saturday February 23, there will be a variety of panels on various law topics, including a panel featuring Ohio Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor, Judge Karen Nelson Moore of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit as well Chief Judge Solomon Oliver of the Northern District of Ohio. They will discuss among other topics how law students and lawyers might prepare themselves for a career in the judicial branch and how the profession might increase the representation of minority lawyers, including Asian American lawyers on the judicial bench. Those interested in registering for the conference and the gala dinner can do so at http://law.case.edu/orgs/apalsa/content.asp?id=491
