This year's APALJ symposium honors Professor Mari Matsuda, the first tenured Asian American female law professor in the United States--tenured at our very own UCLA School of Law.
The day will consist of three panels, each of which will address a few of the larger themes in Mari Matsuda's scholarship, including "looking to the bottom", "multiple consciousness", and social justice.
Professor Matsuda will give a keynote address at the end of the symposium. A reception will follow with a performance by Bambu.
If you would like to attend, please RSVP by April 2nd. The event is free and open to the public. (Please note that MCLE credit is pending, and there is a $25 fee only for attorneys seeking credit.)
