Deb Ballam, Ronnie Cohen, and Anne Levy, the co-chairs of the ALSB Feminist Legal Studies Section, would like to invite all ALSB members to attend any of the section's planned events in Quebec City. On Wednesday evening, we will be hosting an informal evening for those who wish to join a group for dinner. We will be gathering in the hotel lobby and then going together to a local restaurant. The location for dinner has yet to be decided, as has the time, but an announcement with further information will be posted on the ALSB bulletin board early on Wednesday. If you know you will be joining us, please contact or leave a message for any of the co-chairs so that we can get some idea of the number. All ALSB members are invited to join us. If you have no other plans, please come along. We especially want to extend an invitation to those who are attending their first national or those who may be by themselves. Everyone is welcome. Two panels are also planned by the Section. On Thursday, August 8 from 9 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. we will present "Teaching Students to Look Beyond Their Paradigms." This panel will discuss ways to lead students to think about the variety of perspectives in any controversy and to see that there is another side to every emotional issue. We will be using affirmative action as the model, presenting the various pro and con arguments, as well as talking about classroom dynamics and teaching techniques. Panelists will be Shannon O'Byrne, Dolly Malik, Nancy Kubasek, and Anne Levy. Ronnie Cohen will be the moderator. The second panel will be entitled Jurisprudential Theories in Counterpoint: Commercial Impracticability Through a Legal Kaleidoscope." A variety of perspectives will be applied to the same legal problem. The panel will be presented on Friday, August 9 from 10:45 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. Panelists will be: Caryn Beck Dudley presenting the natural law perspective; Frank Cross presenting the positivism/realism perspective; Dan Ostas presenting the law and economics perspective; Ramona Paetzold presenting the feminist jurisprudence perspective; and Kenneth Schneyer presenting the rhetorical analysis perspective. Deb Ballam will be the moderator. A newsletter should be available near the registration desk with the Section's conference information. We look forward to seeing many ALSB members at our events. ***************************************** Anne C.
