Join the Judicial Language Project & Sexual Violence Legal News

This Thursday, 4:30 in the Cherry Room
Come and learn about an opportunity to work with Wendy Murphy, a renowned advocate, and make a difference. Pizza and soda will be provided.

The Judicial Language Project (JLP) screens sexual violence cases for inappropriate language and by using sociolinguistic research explains why the language is inappropriate and gives an explanation as well as alternative choices.

Sexual Violence Legal News (SVLN) is a sister project to JLP that runs an e-mail alert system that keeps shelters and rape crisis centers aware of changes in the law.

Students who volunteer on this project are eligible for the Public Service Transcript Notation, which looks great on both resumes and transcripts! If you are unable to attend the meeting, please contact Megan Mitchell, Secretary of New England Law Boston's Women's Law Caucus.
