Spring (actually summer) Cleaning
Happy summer, y'all! You may have noticed a couple small changes to the layout of this blog, most notably that the SBA resolution regarding the relocation of the Law School has disappeared from the front page. Rest assured, no actual content has been lost; I simply turned it into a normal blog post. In fact, it should appear directly below this one. Eventually it will migrate into the archives, but it will remain available for your reading pleasure.
In other news, the Guild's online home will most likely be getting an upgrade at the beginning of the 2009-10 school year. Exactly what features it has will depend on whether we can get off-campus hosting, but I don't anticipate that being a problem. Among the cooler planned features will be a discussion board, on which both law students and members of the Buffalo (and indeed, the world) community can discuss the law, society, culture, and whatever else suits your fancy. Look for a link here when it's up and running!
All that being said, if you're still reading this, get off the computer and go outside! You'll have plenty of time to sit and read our blog when you're snowed in during the winter!
Peace and Justice,
Paul "PFG" Fusco-Gessick '11

SBA Law School Location Resolution
WHEREAS the UB 2020 plan requires a massive expansion of the University at Buffalo, necessitating a relocation of various schools and departments within the university.
WHEREAS the students of the University at Buffalo Law School desire active participation in decisions made about the future location of the law school, as well as other student amenities such as housing, transportation, and safety.
WHEREAS creating a modern and well-sited campus will attract a wider range of students and new faculty to the University at Buffalo Law School, thereby raising the profile of the school and impacting how the school is ranked among other law schools.
WHEREAS affordable housing, safety, and access to goods and services play a prominent role in the quality of life for law students.
WHEREAS connection with the larger community enhances the educational experience for students through clinical opportunities, internships, externships, community services, as well as other networking opportunities.
WHEREAS the university and the community in which it is situated have a reciprocal relationship, each benefiting from and drawing upon the resources of the other.
WHEREAS the University at Buffalo has committed to achieving "climate neutrality." The law school recognizes that a large proportion of carbon emissions are the result of students commuting to the North Campus and supports endeavors for greener transportation as well as denser land uses requiring less travel.
WHEREAS the UB 2020 "one university, three campuses" plan necessitates connecting the North, South, and Downtown campus with an adequate transportation network. A negotiated agreement with the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority to make transportation easy and affordable will maintain and facilitate interdisciplinary work and dual degree programs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE STUDENT BAR ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY AT BUFFALO LAW SCHOOL to support student involvement in determining the future location of the law school.
