BAUDE TO GIVE INAUGURAL TALK

Professor Patrick Baude will inaugurate the Ralph F. Fuchs Professorship of Law and Public Service with a lecture on Nov. 2 at 3:00 p.m. in the Law School's Moot Court Room.

The lecture, on "Federalism and the Idea of Law Practice," will examine the fact that law is the only large business regulated almost entirely at the state level. In light of political economy and the history of the distinctly American idea that the practice of law is a unitary profession with one license and one set of ethical standards, he suggests that practitioners are about to face important changes. The application of NAFTA and the Americans with Disabilities Act to lawyers are two illustrations of these changes, but the largest change may be in the practitioner's way of thinking about the ethics of law practice.

Baude, the first holder of the Fuchs Professorship, has an A.B. and a J.D. from the University of Kansas, and an LL.M. from Harvard. He has been a member of the law faculty since 1968, and has won both university-wide and Law School teaching awards.

EVENTS & LECTURES

The Indiana Conflict Resolution Institute's Brown Bag Series presents: "Reflections on Conflict Resolution Education" by Professor Jim Schellenberg.

The talk will take place on Tuesday, October 23 from noon until one in SPEA room 204 (behind 201). Beverages and snacks will be provided.

LAW SCHOOL/RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVE ON HALLOWEEN

The IU School of Law/ Red Cross Blood Drive is October 31. This year, because the event is being held on Hallowe'en,a Vampire Raffle is being held. In order to enter to win one of dozens of prizes, including a $300 Seiko watch from GoldCasters, or a pair of 14 kt. gold earrings from Victor Settle, or $5 and $10 gift certificates for local shops and restaurants, you only have to donate a pint of blood. The law school organization whose membership donates the most pints (per capita) will have a special happy hour hosted for them by Nick's English Hut. Faculty and staff can donate as well, and can designate an organization to help the competition along.

Look for posters listing the prizes and sponsors. Later, there will be sign up sheets for scheduling donation times for your convenience.

In these troubled times, let's all do what we can to help others in need. Giving blood means giving life.

BLSA GONG SHOW ON NOV. 9!

The yearly presentation of the BLSA GONG SHOW will take place on November 9 from 6p.m.-9p.m. The Gong Show is a variety show during which IU Law Students and others display their talents in an attempt to win one of the three cash prizes. But, to just let the students present their talents alone would not be enough, so added to the entertainment is a large Gong which the judges strike at their own whim or at the direction of the crowd! Come out and support your fellow classmates. Ticket sales will begin on October 29th. Acts are still needed! If you would like to perform during the show, please send an email to Joey Tellez(jstellez@indiana.edu). Join us in celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the IU BLSA Gong Show!!!
