 Library, Building 200  200 McAllister, San Francisco, CA 94102  Sponsored 
 by UC Hastings National Lawyers Guild    Most of us are concerned about 
 some kind of injustice or   unfairness in society.  We know what we oppose 
 and what we wish   to promote, but many of us have been unable to formulate 
 a clear   vision of how a more just society might look.  Professor Richards 
 is   an esteemed philosopher who spent his life working for and   analysing 
 the meaning of and path to social justice.  Toting a BA from Yale and a JD 
 from Stanford, he was the first legal  volunteer for Cesar Chavez' United 
 Farm Workers Union in the   1960s.  He still has an active law practice in 
 California.  He will   present his views of the changes needed to effect a 
 peaceful and   productive environment for all citizens of the world.  The 
 event is free. Light refreshments will be served.  More Bio  Howard
