A head scarf, also known as a hijab or chador, is an item of clothing worn by many Muslim women that represents a symbol of religious identity and observance of modesty.  As far as 2004, the head scarf has become a hot political topic in the Western world when France prepared to ban head scarves from public schools, along with other overt religious symbols.


A little closer to home, in Oklahoma, a case was recently filed against Abercrombie & Fitch clothing store at a Tulsa mall because a young muslim girl wore a head scarf to an interview and was denied employment due to her scarf violating their "look policy."

Now that school's back in, it will become increasingly important for college kids to be careful in either monitoring their drinking or taking a taxi if they have injested more alcohol beyond the legal limit.  However, with binge drinking becoming ever more prevalent I have posted a link to a drink wheel on my website that will help you figure out if you have gone over your limit to keep you from hurting yourself or others in the future. 

However, if you or someone you know finds themselves in a situation involving drinking and driving or any misdemeanor charge, call us at (405) 607-4357 and we can help.

 

On September 3rd, I had the honor to go to my former law school and speak to students about opportunities to learn within the public interest arena.  Professor Jones the Public Interest and Pro Bono Coordinator asked me to speak on a conference I attended in DC that led me to my current work with plaintiffs.

I strongly encourage students to learn through public interest jobs and to pursue a noble path in practicing law.  My experience working for a public interest firm in Washington DC led me to a career in doing what I love, representing the best interests of clients with compassion.

As the economy has been weighing many of us down, we must not forget that we must do our part to give back to those less fortunate.  Many people are still without jobs today, but applying to these types of jobs can give a student or new lawyer experience and opportunities in other areas. With that said, students can learn humility, persistence, and get a sense of purpose from their careers in any field by taking part in volunteer work.
