    Pro Bono Week: Pro Bono Luncheon

    Big Firm Pro Bono: Helping Clients, Increasing Nonprofit Capacity, and Enriching Law Firm Practice

    Pro bono service is an important way to connect poor people and underresourced nonprofits to needed legal services, but can it also help the law firm lawyers who represent pro bono clients? In a very competitive legal market and in the face of demanding billable hours requirements, what motivates lawyers at major law firms to contribute over 1.5 million hours of pro bono time per year? How can the skills students gain through pro bono projects make them more marketable to potential law firm employers? What do future public interest lawyers need to know about law firm pro bono programs in order to effectively increase nonprofit capacity and connect their client communities to pro bono lawyers?

    Please join the Texas Law Pro Bono Program at a lunch presentation during national Celebrate Pro Bono Week that will address these questions and more. A panel of attorneys from Vinson & Elkins will discuss V&E’s national pro bono program and how pro bono service contributes to law firms’ business development, professional development, and recruiting efforts.

    A Mediterranean luncheon will be served. Please RSVP to Sarah Sedgwick at ssedgwick@law.utexas.edu no later than noon on Monday, October 20.

    Endangered Species Halloween!

    Join UT's Student Animal Legal Defense Fund Chapter for an Endangered Species Halloween! We'll be in the Atrium from 11:30-3:30 and everyone is welcome!

    This year, the Center for Biological Diversity has donated a box of Halloween themed Endangered Species Condoms that we'll be giving out. We have a limited supply, so first come first serve! The condoms underline the major issues that overpopulation is doing to wildlife. Each package contains — along with two condoms — original artwork and information on the species featured, facts about unsustainable human population growth and its link to the extinction crisis, and suggestions on how the human population might be stabilized.

    Alas, although we have a limited supply, we'll also have other fun treats for anyone who stops by: Halloween candy, wolf-masks that you can decorate yourself (we'll have markers and colors) which have been provided by the Endangered Species Coalition, and information on the status of wolves in the United States and the many problems facing them today.

    Please stop by for some Halloween fun!

    Swansea Texas Research Showcase

    In 2011, Wales was the first country in the world to introduce a domestic law on the rights of children.

    This discussion brings together the key figures at the heart of this landmark development. Find out what really happened, and what lessons they can share.

    Featuring: Right Honourable Rhodri Morgan, former First Minister of Wales Jane Williams, College of Law, Swansea University Helen Mary Jones, former chair of the Wales Assembly children’s committee Moderated by Sir Roderick Evans, Swansea University
