Law School Free for UC Irvine's Entering 2009 Class
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Students who enroll at the University of California's new law school in Irvine next fall will get their legal education for free.
The law school is giving full tuition scholarships worth about $100,000 to its first 2009 class of about 60 students, the National Law Journal reports.
Charles Cannon, assistant dean of development and external affairs at the law school, told the publication UC Irvine hopes to attract high-quality students with the offer. The free tuition is expected to cost the school about $6 million, he said.
The school is seeking donations to cover the scholarships and has so far raised about a third of the money.
The story also reports that the law school had originally called itself the Donald Bren School of Law in honor of a $20 million donor, but the school is dropping the name. It will be called the University of California, Irvine, a name that is parallel to other UC schools.

Dear Volunteer,
Thank you for joining us to achieve our goal - to keep kids in school and to make them aware of the importance of education. Because Cesar Chavez is a continuation high school, all the students are at-risk students. Your message is very valuable. We really appreciate your help in this worthwhile and rewarding program. Hope you can join us.
Cesar Chavez HS will have 11 classrooms so we need at least 15-20 speakers. Breakfast will be served, so come hungry! We will have an early arrival at 7:45 AM so there will be time to eat. The campus address is 2128 S. Cypress St., however, the parking entrance is on Anahurst at the corner of Anahurst St. and S. Main St. This is just north of Warner Ave. A map link is available on the web site www.ymtf.org.
We will meet in the Library and begin signing in at 7:45 AM. Speakers will be escorted to classrooms at 8:40. Please try to arrive as near to the beginning of the registration as possible, especially because we will have breakfast served.

Professional EP Legal Volunteer Recruitment Alert
    
Election Protection 2008
Voter Hotline
(English: 1-866-OUR-VOTE) (Español: 1-888-VE-Y-VOTA)
& Mobile Field Program
The California La Raza Lawyers, the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law ("Lawyers' Committee"), the Hispanic National Bar Association, and our coalition partners seek volunteer attorneys, paralegals and law students for Election Protection - the nation's largest non-partisan voter protection program - on November 4, 2008.
The turn out of Latino voters is expected to reach historic highs and there are concerns that the Hispanic community could be the target of voter suppression tactics. Members of the California La Raza Lawyers are needed to ensure that the large number of newly registered and other eligible Latino voters are able to freely exercise their right to vote. There is a significant need for lawyers and law students with cultural competence and Spanish language skills to protect the voting rights of the Hispanic community.
Election Protection is a national coalition that works throughout the year to break down barriers to the ballot box for traditionally disenfranchised voters. Other partners include the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO), the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), and the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Educational Fund (PRLDEF).
To that end, Election Protection is seeking legal volunteers to staff the 1-866-OUR-VOTE and 1-888-VE-Y-VOTA hotlines and provide live assistance to voters who have questions or need to report problems with voting.
In addition, volunteer attorneys, paralegals and law students are needed to serve as Mobile Legal Volunteers ("MLVs"). MLVs work in teams of two and monitor a zone of 4-10 polling places, respond to incidents reported through the hotline, and assist voters at the polling place. Potential problems include dissemination of misinformation by poll workers, problems associated with voting machines (including new electronic ones), and potential intimidation of voters.
While the voter hotline is available to all voters across the country, Election Protection targets communities traditionally disenfranchised, including African Americans, Asian Pacific Americans, Latinos, Native Americans and other racially and ethnically diverse communities, seniors, young people, low-income voters and individuals with disabilities.
Volunteers must attend in-person a 1 ½ hour training session and are asked to sign up for a 4-5 hour shift. Materials will be provided. The hotline is a non-partisan effort and is not affiliated in any way with any candidate or political party. To volunteer, please sign-up directly at http://www.ncffe.org/Volunteer. Volunteers will receive an e-mail in late September or early October with a link to sign up for specific trainings and shifts.
