THURSDAY, JANUARY 27

Professor Aman to Give Lecture on The Democracy Deficit

Professor Fred Aman will talk about his recently published book, The Democracy Deficit: Taming Globalization through Law Reform, at 5 p.m. at the College Arts & Humanities Institute on 1211 East Atwater Avenue. Refreshments will be served following Aman's presentation. In The Democracy Deficit, Aman argues that the essence of democracy in the 21st century depends on the ability of citizens to affect the policies that globalization would now seem to dictate. Law, particularly domestic administrative law, has a crucial role to play in this endeavor. Aman, the Roscoe C. O'Byrne Professor of Law and the director of the IU Institute for Advanced Study, has held a Distinguished Fulbright Chair in Trento, Italy, and visiting professorships and fellowships in England, France, and Italy. He is the author of four books and numerous articles on administrative, regulatory, and deregulatory law, and the global economy. For more information about this event, please call 856-1169.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Women's Law Caucus Auction: Feb. 4

How high will you go? Last year, the Law School community helped to raise more than $8,000 through the Woman's Law Caucus Auction to benefit local victims of domestic violence. This year, proceeds from the Feb. 4 event will again benefit the Middle Way House of Bloomington and the Law School's Protective Order Project. For the first time, a portion of the proceeds will also fund a scholarship for a law student who will work on furthering the mission of the Women's Law Caucus. Watch the ILA for more information as this fun and worthwhile event approaches. Mark your calendars!

"Globalization and the Politics of Labor": Feb. 11 and 12

The Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies (IJGLS) will host its 13th annual conference, "Globalization and the New Politics of Labor," on Feb. 11 and 12 in the Moot Court Room. The conference will foster attention to crucial issues dealing with labor in an interdisciplinary way, including legal, political, social, and economic analyses. Conference participants will discuss how labor issues are affected by the crosscurrents and pressures of globalization. Specifically, the conference will address how evolving issues in labor, law, and politics are affected by labor and migration, labor and gender, labor and trade agreements, and labor and neo-liberal reform. Conference papers will provide the basis for a symposium issue of the IJGLS. More information, including the list of participants, their topics, and the conference schedule, is coming soon.
