Sept. 5, 2002

On Sept. 11, 2002, Capital University Law School students and faculty will discuss the challenges facing today’s lawyers since last Sept. 11.

Broad Street; the event is free and open to the public.
“Since the events of last September, attorneys have been on the front line defending and protecting the rule of law and seeking justice. Wednesday’s program provides us an opportunity to reflect on the changes that have taken place in our system of justice since last year,” said Dean Steven C. Bahls.
