I found this account of the law school experience by Professor Duncan Kennedy of Harvard Law to be relevant to our discussions in class, thought I’d share.
Line: 201 to 201
 In the same vein, I am interested in creating a new topic on the Wiki that will attempt to accumulate opportunities for students to get involved depending on our different interests (i.e. gender equality, environment, civil rights, education, etc). This idea came to me when I was sent an email about the NY State Attorney General's Civil Rights Bureau needing student volunteers to work on a fair housing issue, that may culminate in volunteers serving as witnesses at trial. Would anyone else be interested in this Wiki topic? It would be great if we could all work together to inform each other about opportunities such as this, so that those who are interested in alternative ways to obtain legal experience, can do so meaningfully. -- AbiolaFasehun - 27 Mar 2012

Abiola, that sounds like a great idea. I am hesitant to abandon faith completely in Columbia’s offerings – perhaps out of a subconscious desire to validate the tuition fees – but of course there is a wealth of other sources of guidance and experience out there, particularly in this city. No need to limit either way.

Perhaps we could begin with a list of topic areas, with subsections for long-term interests/goals, another for contacts, and a third for possible related learning or work experience opportunities?

Two quick concerns – 1. we should make it group-access only. 2. It might be worth looking around current organizations and any websites/materials they have first, so as to not reinvent the wheel on this.
