Recent Graduates Honored
Two recent grads — Laura Redman '03 and Anjali
Waikar '05 — received prestigious Equal Justice Works
fellowships to begin in the fall of 2006.
Redman will be working with the Welfare Law Center in
New York City on an Access to Medicaid project. Her project
will serve as a clearinghouse for organizations, groups
and individuals nationwide through direct representation,
collaboration, public education and advocacy.
Waikar will continue her work with the ACLU of Massachusetts
addressing post-9/11 racial profiling in Massachusetts.
Her project will integrate human rights documentation,
community-based organizing, and litigation strategies
to counter policies and practices that are targeting people
and communities based solely on race, ethnicity, or religion.
The Equal Justice Works
Fellowship program is the largest in the nation which
offers two-year fellowships to law school graduates working
on a variety of social justice issues. |

The
Office of Alumni/ae Relations and Development, working
closely with Mark L. Irvings '75, is planning a half-day
conference on Saturday, November 4, 2006, focusing
on labor and employment issues.
We are still formulating discussion topics, but they will
likely include issues surrounding the employment of legal
and illegal immigrants, a dialogue between private and
alternative dispute resolution providers and judges, and
the challenges of working inhouse for corporations and
unions.

in participating by coordinating a session, please contact
