This Week in the Law School
If you've ever wanted to see some of your favorite professors sing their hearts out in front of an adoring crowd, then wow do we have some good news for you: Singing for Summer Salaries takes place Wednesday. This annual event is a beloved tradition that will – after seeing law professors sing – quickly elevate Fergie's rendition of the National Anthem into the Pantheon of great American musical performances. All proceeds benefit students doing public interest work this summer. Good cause, good times.
With two weeks left until Spring Break, ILA would like to take this opportunity to remind you that the deadline for ILA submissions is Thursday at noon. Your cooperation is very much appreciated.
Finally, we welcome our Alumni Board to campus Friday. Say hello and introduce yourself!

1L Academic Planning Session
Dean Catherine Matthews, Alexis Lanham, and Liz Bodamer will hold several academic planning sessions to provide information about graduation requirements, bar preparation coverage, and course registration procedures to help you plan your course schedules for your remaining semesters. Although attendance at any one of these sessions is highly encouraged, you must attend one in order to schedule an individual follow-up advising appointment with one of the session leaders. This foundational information will be most immediately helpful for you as you plan your fall class schedule; registration for 1Ls will begin in early April. A separate session will be held on March 1 for those who cannot make today's event. The same material will be covered in each session, which should last an hour. Moot Court Room, 9:45 a.m. and 3:45 p.m.
Small Group Sessions with Steven Sharpe and Kristin Riebsomer
If you're thinking about a public interest career path, and wondering how will you repay pay your loans, build a career path, build candidacy for the national fellowships, or what it's like to work in legal aid, then this session is for you. Join Steven Sharpe, '05, and Kristin Riebsomer, '17, for a small group session to ask these questions and more. They will also take part in the PMF, Honors, Fellowships, Oh My! program at Noon in Room 125 where we will discuss even more public interest opportunities. Room 352, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Professors and administrators also have challenges for students and will donate to PILF based on student participation in these challenges. PILF is also auctioning off items such as bar prep discounts, gym memberships, yoga/pilates classes, IU and Law School swag, hotel stays at the IMU Biddle Hotel and the Hilton Garden Inn, rounds of golf, rent vouchers, and gift certificates. Unlike years past, we will ask all attendees to stay for the whole hour, if possible, to minimize chaos.

Remember, all money goes to funding the next generation of public interest lawyers. Moot Court Room, noon.

Keep Funding for Legal Aid
The Trump administration has proposed in the 2019 budget to eliminate funding for the Legal Services Corporation, which is our nation's largest single funder of civil legal aid for low-income people. Partisan politics aside, we can all agree that protecting the interests our poor and vulnerable neighbors by providing them with legal representation is a value we should uphold.
Join the Public Interest Law Foundation and Campus Action for Democracy to tell your Senators and Representative to keep legal aid funding in the 2019 federal budget. Join us by contacting our representatives by postcards, phone, and a petition. We will provide the postcards, call numbers and scripts, and the petition to sign. You have the power to advocate for people who need legal aid! Main Lobby, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The Media and the Rule of Law in the Age of Trump
Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania, is one of the nation's leading authorities on the media, politics and presidential communication.

She'll sit down with Prof. Steve Sanders for a conversation about how President Donald Trump is changing the norms of the presidency, the role of the media, and our understanding of the rule of law. Non-pizza lunch will be served. Moot Court Room, noon.

International Movie Night: Otra Cosa No Hay (There is Nothing Else)
The International Law Society will host the screening of a documentary written and directed by Prof. Christiana Ochoa. On the edge of the pristine and ecologically vital Páramo de Santurbán, one Colombian town has sustained itself for four centuries through its access to mountain gold. When large-scale, foreign mining operations began buying land and rights from local miners, the fragile equilibrium between human economic needs, harvestable natural resources, and environmental protection was disrupted. Otra Cosa No Hay (There is Nothing Else) explores the hopes, the fears, and the conflicts that have arisen since the arrival of foreign gold mining interests. Prof. Ochoa will join us for a brief Q&A session after the film. Moot Court Room, 5:30 p.m.
