Employment Offered
For a case that could have far reaching implications not only for employment practices in the United States but also for Judge Sonia Sotomayor?s LAW ?79 nomination to the Supreme Court, legal experts agreed that the ruling in Ricci v. DeStefano was an unusual one. In fact, the case?s very eccentricities had onlookers, pundits and Supreme Court justices alike wondering whether the ruling had only further muddled the constitutional issues at hand.

We wish to invite everyone to the upcoming Public Service/Social Justice Meeting.
We have many exciting projects and prospects as we try to build on the momentum we gained from the Yale Day of Service in May. Additionally, our social justice/juvenile justice project in collaboration with the very progressive Mayor Booker of Newark is currently underway and a preliminary task force has been formed. Our hope is to build a team of volunteers from diverse professions that will help transform Newark's Juvenile Justice System so that children have the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential.
We look forward to seeing you.
All the best,
Anne Moss
