The TMLS Southern Comfort Chicken & Waffles Fundraiser is a food-based event designed to cater to UT law students, faculty, and visitors. This fundraiser is about more than raising money; as there are easier and cheaper ways to do so. This fundraiser is also about creating a noticeable presence within the UT community by facilitating a meaningful interaction with the general law school population. For these reasons, it is our hope that this fundraiser will further our commitment to serving all UT law students, faculty, and staff.

Disclaimer: The money raised by this event will be deposited into to the Thurgood Marshall Legal Society's discretionary-spending account. Thus, TMLS reserves the right to allocate these funds towards the following: general body meetings, the TMLS annual banquet speaker, or catering.

Come hear a debate over the merits of the "campus carry" law as a policy matter, and different perspectives over what regulation should look like.
