When she’s not at an Art Law Clinic\, you can find her in dance class or digging through crates at your local record store. \n\nAdmission is free. The talk will be accompanied by a free lunch served at 11:45. (An r.s.v.p. form will be available soon.) \n\nThis event is open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race\, color\, religion\, sex\, national origin\, or any other protected category under applicable federal law\, state law\, and the University’s nondiscrimination policy. \n
