    NEW TIME! 2:15-3:15pm in TNH 2.124.

    Progressives have largely forgotten how to think and talk about the constitutional underpinnings for addressing want and inequity in American society. The present challenge for progressives is to assert a constitutional vision of a national government empowered to promote the general welfare. Such is the position of Texas Law’s own Professor Forbath, and we will be discussing these propositions on the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution. Come after lunch for something sweet to eat.

    TJWL is an innovative, student-edited journal dedicated to publishing legal scholarship that explores the cultural, racial, and socio-economic factors affecting women. We celebrate the advances made by women's advocates and seek to enhance the relationship between theoretical and practical perspectives by promoting discourse on gender and the law issues.

    TJWL publishes twice during the academic year. Each publication includes a combination of three or four articles, notes, and/or comments. Preference for publication is given to student notes written by TJWL staff members.

    Staff members have the opportunity to take part in more than simple cite-checking. As a member of TJWL, you may take advantage of opportunities to edit, work directly with authors, select materials for publication, and work on non-publication projects.

    If you have questions or would like an application, please contact Lauren Miller at laurendm@utexas.edu.
