DESCRIPTION:*Revolutionary Lawyering in Reactionary Times*  Come to Hastings this 
 Saturday for the National Lawyer's Guild's 37th annual Progressive 
 Lawyering Day!  Radical law students from seven Bay Area law schools have 
 planned this symposium for other law students, lawyers, and the community.  
 This day-long symposium offers resources, inspiration, knowledge-sharing, 
 and art to fuel the struggle for justice.   Local civil rights lawyer John 
 Burris, recently named among the top 100 most influential lawyers in 2005 
 by the Daily Journal, will give the keynote address.  Burris represented 
 Rodney King as well as the 119 plaintiffs who sued the Oakland Riders, 
 winning reforms in how the Oakland Police deal with officers who violate 
 citizen's civil rights.   Panels and workshops include:   * Soldiers in 
 Revolt: How Law Students Can Support GI Resisters;   * Day Laborer 
 Struggles;   * Practicing Public Interest Law and Paying Your Debt;   * 
 International Human Rights;   * Environmental Justice;   * Homelessness and 
 Civil Rights in the Tenderloin;   * Critical Race Theory;   * International 
 Human Rights;   * Queer Immigrant / Asylum Rights; and   * Community Based 
 Lawyering: Moving from “Expert” to Resource.   The symposium will close 
 with a reception featuring performances by the amazing spoken word and 
 musical artists MC Tru Bloo and Erica Ballinger, as well as food and 
 drinks.   PLD is an excellent way to meet and make community with other 
 radical law students and lawyers from around the Bay Area.  A full schedule 
 is included below, and panelists bios are attached.   Join us!  We need 
 your voice, your knowledge, and your passion.   Progressive Lawyering Day
