This Week: CLE Lunch and Bar Brew
Funding the 3rd Branch: Sen. Kurt Schaefer
 
This week's lunch topic is Funding the Third Branch - Insuring Access to Justice, presented by Missouri Senator Kurt Schaefer.  Senator Schaefer will share his perspective as a lawyer-legislator and appropriations committee chair. 

Mark your calendar for next month's lunch.  On May 18 Tom Strong will present  Slavery: The American Tragedy.  There are lessons to be learned from history, none more important than our struggle with the concept that “all men are created equal.”  The problems arising from slavery are as old as our nation and as new as the racial unrest that plagues us today. Tom Strong will discuss the sin of slavery, the racism that was created during the 250 years when slavery was part of our culture and the challenges that lie ahead, in his presentation, Slavery: The American Tragedy. Court decisions, statutes, ordinances, proclamations, debates, the Constitution, and 89 graphics will help tell the story. (The May CLE lunch will be held at Kentwood Hall)
