SBA – Cavs Game – February 25, 2011

The Student Bar Association is organizing a trip to cheer on the Cleveland Cavaliers during their historic run as the NBA’s worst performing team of all time. If ever there was a team that needed our help, it’s the Cavs.  If ever there was a time to watch a basketball game, it’s NOW…or February 25 against the New York Knickerbockers.

This sounds great! How do I get signed up?

Answer: There will be a sign-up sheet on the SBA bulletin board.

When/Where/How do I pay?

Answer: No later than Thursday February 17. The tickets will cost $20. We accept cash, cash, and cash. If you don’t have cash you can pay in cash. Please, submit an envelope with your name and small, unmarked bills totaling $20 to the SBA Office or any SBA Exec Board Member, except for Arash. I repeat: DO NOT give Arash any money.

Disclaimer:

We will only be able to go on this trip if 20 students sign up and pay by Thursday February 17.

Fed. Soc. – “Obamacare: Extending Constitutional Power, Or Just The National Debt?” – Feb. 17, 12:15 pm, L-151

Make plans to join The Federalist Society on Thursday, February 17th, at 12:15 p.m.-1:15 p.m. in Room 151 for debate, discussion, and FREE CHIPOTLE.

Ilya Shapiro, Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies at the CATO Institute and Editor-in-Chief of the CATO Supreme Court Review, will debate Akron’s own C. Blake McDowell, Jr. Professor of Law, Wilson Huhn.  The debate will focus on the constitutional issues surrounding the individual healthcare mandate of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

It seems inevitable the Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of The Minimum Essential Coverage Provision in the not too distant future.  Both Mr. Shapiro and Professor Huhn are engaging speakers well-versed on the issues in question.  Don’t miss this!

PS: And don’t forget the FREE CHIPOTLE!
