Events
On January 18, 2008, the University of Louisville Law Review will host a symposium on the voluntary school integration cases that were recently decided by the United States Supreme Court, with a particular focus on Meredith v. Jefferson County Board of Education. The decision of these cases will likely define schools’ ability to encourage diversity and prevent a reversion to segregation. While undoubtedly of great importance around the country, this decision is especially important here in Louisville, where one of the cases originated.
The Law Review’s Symposium aims to encourage an interdisciplinary approach to the continuing national debate on issues of race and inclusion and to contribute to the scholarship on school desegregation and race. The following distinguished scholars, who are experts in fields related to this issue, will submit articles exploring the strengths and weaknesses of the Supreme Court’s decision, the future of voluntary school integration, and other avenues for addressing the issue of voluntary school integration, as well as many other aspects of the Supreme Court’s decision in the Meredith case:

Come and watch a classic: The Paper Chase

description from the Rotten Tomatoes site, and check this youtube link for a
preview scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qHEBABE6PU
The Harlan Scholars are a group of select undergraduates at the University
of Louisville who are interested in legal education and careers in law. This

community -- faculty, staff and students -- to attend. Please RSVP to the
Harlans' advisor, Professor Kathleen Bean (kathybean@louisville.edu), so she can
make sure there is sufficient seating and popcorn! Depending on the number

announced); it begins at 5:30 p.m.
From Rotten Tomatoes:
Hart (Timothy Bottoms) is a Harvard Law School freshman whose problems are
intensified when he falls in love with the daughter (Lindsay Wagner) of a
tyrannical professor, played to the hilt by John Houseman. Based on the novel by
John Jay Osborn Jr., THE PAPER CHASE follows the progression of a group of
freshman struggling to stay afloat in a world of high pressure and immense
competition, where top grades seem to be the difference between life and death.
Hart is a slightly naive but bright midwesterner who must prove himself in the
arena of Professor Kingsfield's (Houseman) brilliant but cruel classroom. Hart
becomes obsessed with excelling in Kingsfield's class, pushing himself to the
brink until he meets Susan (Wagner) and falls in love with her only to discover
that she is Kingsfield's daughter. As Hart becomes more involved with Susan, he
begins to question whether he really wants to become part of the system
Harvard's preparing him for. The film is a dazzlingly authentic and moving
depiction of the trials and tribulations of law school, brought to life by the
breathtaking performance of legendary actor John Houseman in an Oscar-winning
performance. Directed enthusiastically by James Bridges, THE PAPER CHASE is one
of the greatest renderings of education ever captured on film.
