Running a Symposium

Every year, student groups at the law school hold symposia on legal issues of interest to students, faculty and the legal and public interest communities. These symposia generally consist of a series of panels featuring expert faculty, practitioners or students discussing various subtopics. In recent years, symposium topics have included the death penalty, copyright in a digital age, and sex workers and trafficking. Upcoming symposia in Spring 2002 address:

• Rights of Minorities in South Asia
• Achieving Student and Faculty Diversity
• Gentrification of Urban Communities
• Labor Conditions and Latina Women in the Global Marketplace

The law school's Symposium Funding Committee allocates funds for existing student groups planning symposia of interest to students. Applications for fall semester symposia are due in the spring and spring semester symposia are due in the fall. A copy of the application may be downloaded using the link at the left. Please note that charges on the application are subject to change, so please contact the Symposium Funding Committee to make sure that no changes to the application have been made.

If you have questions about symposia, or their funding, please feel free to contact the committee at:
