HMCE Volunteer
This year Santa Clara has been selected to host the regional ABA Negotiation Competition. This event is a wonderful opportunity for students to watch live negotiations, network with the professionals slated to judge the rounds (including Judges and practicing attorneys in the area), and interact with students from a wide variety of law schools
To make the event a success, HMCE needs volunteers for November 4th, 5th, and 6th. (Remember the MPRE is Nov. 5 for those taking it) Sign up using the following google spreadsheet link HMCE has provided. Put BLSA in parenthesis next to your name and we could win a prize! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApENO8v_3I2ZdFNMZ1EtVkZwblMwWVNIN1NyRWFaeVE&hl=en_US#gid=0

If you’re interested in going to a local school to teach kids about the Constitution, let us know. SALSA is sponsoring and we can make sure you know how to connect with them. Here is some info: the school is in San Jose, 7 mins away from campus, and the times will be 8-9:30 am, and 12:30-2 pm. For the Supreme Court activity, we need volunteers to act as Supreme Court Justices for 8th grade oral arguments (not a competition). SALSA will provide the material for both sets of activities.
