WEINMAN HE Brooklyn Law School Division of the Students Section of the National Lawyers Guild held its nrst meeting on November 17, 1947, and was granted a charter by the National Convention of the Guild held in Chicago in February, 1948. The Brooklyn Division now has over 50 members, and is growing. It was represented by two delegates, Saul Nadel and Hans Johansen, at the Chicago convention of the Guild, where they helped to form a National Student Divi- sion, in conjunction with the Divisions in other law schools throughout the country. The Division has Committees for Legal Research, Publicity, Entertain- ment and Placement. The Placement Committee has already begun to secure employment, part and full time, for its members, through the cooperation of the New York City Chapter of the Guild, with which the Brooklyn Division has the most cordial relations. Faculty Advisor for the Brooklyn Division is Professor Bernstein. Mr. O. John Rogge and Mr. Osmund K. Fraenkel, national vice-presidents of the Guild and eminent authorities on civil liberties, have spoken to the students at open membership meetings of the Division. Miss Marion Wynn Perry, Counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and a member of the Board of Directors of the New York City Chap- ter of the Guild, has also addressed the membership. On April 24, the Brooklyn Division, in conjunction with those at N .Y.U. and Columbia, sponsored a highly successful theatre party at the Cort Thea- tre, the attraction being Sartre's The Respectful Prostitutef' The Guild itself is a liberal Bar Association, active in the defense of civil rights and in the interests of attorneys. It has filed briefs amicus curiae on law school segregation and the restrictive covenant cases recently decided by the Supreme Court, among many others. Its New York City Chapter president is Judge Nathan R. Sobel, of Kings County Court. Cgfte 4948 Gfranceffor Pagesmmy
