First Thursday Graduate Scholar Talk- March 5
The Law's Audiences
David Louk,
Columbia Law School
|
Should we be concerned if prevailing approaches to statutory interpretation make it unlikely that most people subject to the law will be able to understand it without the assistance of a lawyer? Louk examines prevailing approaches to American statutory and constitutional interpretation from the standpoint of how those approaches enhance or diminish the capacity for law's other audiences - including the public at large - to understand what the law means and requires of them

EPIC Yoga: February 20, 27
|
|
Professor Emerita Virginia Papaioannou
, a registered teacher with the Yoga Alliance, leads EPIC Yoga.
No prior experience is required to join. Yoga can benefit people at all levels of physical training and health, but it is always wise to consult with a physician before undertaking any new exercise regime. Modifications will be offered to any participants with specific limitations arising from recovery from injury, arthritis, limited movement, or other causes.
Two one-hour classes are offered each week. The
10:00 to 11:00 a.m.
class practices breathing techniques and moves through some basic yoga poses, concentrating on alignment, balance, and flexibility. Those with experience move more deeply into the poses. From
11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
, we practice gentle/chair yoga, which is ideal for those of more limited mobility or flexibility. Classes include breathing, stretching, and yoga poses, done either seated in a chair or standing. No yoga mats are required for this class.
