Stop by SBA's table in the Atrium throughout the week to collect your FREE law week t-shirt.

Throughout law week, SBA is collecting non-perishable food items to benefit the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas. We are seeking healthy, non-perishable food items with intact, un-opened consumer or commercial and in non-breakable packaging. The items in highest demand are:

• peanut butter, • canned chicken breast or tuna, • canned low sodium vegetables, • canned fruit in its own juice (no sugar added), • dry pinto beans, • brown rice, • non-fat dry milk powder, and • 100% whole grain cereal.

Collection boxes will be located in the Atrium Monday through Thursday.

On Tuesday, March 1st, the SBA will be hosting a food drive for Law Week.

Attorney Scott Hendler of Hendler Lyons Flores (Austin) will talk about his experience litigating the 'DBCP' cases, lawsuits against large American corporations on behalf of Central American agricultural workers, in particular on banana plantations, for infertility linked to the use of an insecticide. He will also talk and answer questions about his experience more generally working at the intersection of personal injury, environmental law, labor relations and international human rights, and how one can integrate work in these areas into a thriving private practice. Lunch will be provided.

Panelists will discuss strategies for negotiating job offers with small or midsize firms and what questions to ask before accepting. Topics will include salary negotiations and resources for researching salaries and benefits. Lunch will be served. RSVP by Monday, February 29, on Symplicity by selecting the "Events" tab.
