European Legal Ethics Fellowship
FASPE (Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics) is now accepting applications for a fellowship that uses the conduct of lawyers and judges in Nazi Germany as a launching point for an intensive two-week early summer program about contemporary legal ethics. Fellowships include an all-expense paid trip from New York to Berlin, Krakow, and Oświęcim (Auschwitz) where students will work with leading faculty to explore both legal history and the ethical issues facing lawyers today. All program costs, including international and European travel, lodging, and food, are covered. The tentative program dates for FASPE Law are May 26 - June 6, 2013. Completed applications must be received by January 11, 2013. Candidates of all religious, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

Conservation Law Center Presents Awards
On Thursday, November 15, at its annual dinner, the Conservation Law Center presented its first Distinguished Career Public Service Awards to eight staff biologists of the Indiana Division of Nature Preserves. John Bacone, DNP Director; Brian Abrell, Lee Casebere, Rich Dunbar, Cloyce Hedge, Roger Hedge, Mike Homoya, and Tom Post have each worked for more than 25 years to preserve the natural diversity of Indiana for the people of this state, and for future generations.
The Conservation Law Center considered their remarkable dedication and achievement worthy of singular recognition, and a fitting choice for its inaugural award. Jamie Williams, President of the Wilderness Society, was the guest speaker.
