From the Editor Candice
Happy Monday!
I just wanted to say good luck tonight to all those par-ticipating in Honors Moot Court this week.
Also Con-gratulations and Good Luck also to all those representing Santa Clara in the External Moot Competi-tions!
This week in Bannan Lounge you can not only get your ticket for Barrister’s Ball but you can also make a donation to the Princess Project spon-sored by
Women and Law.
So maybe start your spring cleaning and make some space in your closet and give a young girl an opportunity to have a wonder-ful memory of her prom.
Have a great week!
Take Care, Candice B.

PRISON VISIT On Friday April 6, the Criminal Law Society and the North-ern California Innocence Project will be co-sponsoring a tour of Salinas Valley State Prison, a maximum security facility. The tour starts at 12 and the prison is a little over an hour away so we will leave campus around 10. We expect to return to campus around 6. There are limited spaces so please respond soon if you are interested. To sign up, simply take a clearance form from David Richter's folder in Bannan Lounge (in the 2L section). Fill out the form and place it back in his folder. First come, first serve. The form requests some potentially confidential information. If you have any concerns about this please contact David directly at [email protected] and alternative arrangements can be made. Forms have to be in by March 26, but space is limited so sooner is better. Once you fill out a clearance form, you will also need to complete a participant agree-ment form for the university. If you have any questions contact David at [email protected]. For more information about the prison, see this link: http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Visitors/fac_prison_SVSP.html
