AUSTIN, Texas – The Student Bar Association (SBA) at The University of Texas School of Law is sponsoring a weeklong series of events, celebrating the students, faculty, and alumni of UT Law. Law Week 2003 begins Saturday, Feb. 22, with a free legal clinic for the public at the Law School and ends Sunday, March 2, with "Race Judicata," a 5K race around UT's campus. Other highlights include Casino Night and the Chicano/Hispanic Law Students Association (CHLSA) Fajita Fest.
SBA Vice President Annie Holand said that Law Week is the perfect way to raise awareness about UT Law.
