2004 University of Texas School of Law Annual Freedom Growing through service A special panel discussion, includ- ing scenes from Shakespeare ' s Measure for Mea- sure, was present- ed in September by the Law School and English Dept. The Chicano Hispanic Law Students ' Association (CHLSA) at the Uni- versity of Texas School of Law hosted a volunteer event in conjunction with Habitat For Humanity this past Friday, October 24, 2003. In attendance, were also representatives from Thurgood Marshall Legal Society, Texas Law Democrats, Texas Hispanic Journal of Law Policy, and Phi Alpha Delta. The all day event served as an oppor- tunity for law students to give back to the community and give assistance to underserved areas in East Austin. When I heard that this unique op- portunity was being organized for a group of law students I was extremely excited. said Kandace Walters, TMLS Secretary, I think this program presents a unique opportunity to help people in the community who are less fortunate. I was extremely impressed to learn that the recipients are required to work sweat equity hours and to actually pay for the house. After the work, there was a dinner for the participants, sponsored by the Stu- dent Bar Association. A lot of thanks goes to SBA and the participating repre- sentatives for supporting a coordinated effort between law school organiza- tions said George Salinas, CHLSA Ex- ternal Vice-President and organizer of the event. We hope this is only a start to us all working with each other in con- tributing to our communities. 16 THE STATE OF TEXAS • THE SCHOOL OF LAW
