11 Years with the African-American Law & Policy Report

April 21, 2006
Boalt Law School, University of California, Berkeley

Gordon & Rees LLP proudly served as one of the sponsors commemorating a decade of remarkable and significant legal scholarship with the African-American Law & Policy Report (ALPR). The reception was held at the San Francisco home of alumni, Clothilde Hewlett, in honor of Boalt faculty who have been particularly instrumental in supporting the ALPR.

ALPR was founded in 1992 and is a forum for scholars, practitioners and students to address law and policy issues relating specifically to the African-American community and people of color. ALPR deals with such matters as constitutional law, criminal justice, civil rights, African-American participation in the political process, the death penalty, fair housing, economic development in the African-American community, African immigration to the United States, health issues that affect African Americans, as well as issues affecting Africa and the African diaspora.
