Bowen Law School鈥檚 annual Altheimer Symposium to focus on school-to-prison pipeline]]> The University of Arkansas at Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law will host the 2019 Ben J. Altheimer Symposium, organized by the school鈥檚 Law Review, on Nov. 1, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. The symposium, organized by the school’s Law Review, will be themed 鈥淏locking the Pathways: Eradicating the School-to-Prison Pipeline.鈥� The 鈥渟chool-to-prison pipeline鈥� describes increasingly strict disciplinary policies that criminalize youth, putting students into contact with law enforcement at a young age. Speakers at the symposium will address how the pipeline disproportionately affects youths from disadvantaged backgrounds. The goal of the symposium is to define the issue and propose solutions for the problems created by the pipeline.聽 Speakers from the Intercultural Development Research Association, the National Center for Youth Law, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and Texas Appleseed will address topics, including mental health among juveniles, racial disparities in the pipeline, police presence in schools, and creating positive school climates. The event is free and open to the public, but space is limited and registration is required. The symposium will be simulcast at the University of Arkansas Law School in Fayetteville. CLE credit is pending.聽 The Ben J. Altheimer Symposium is an annual event at which the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Law Review and the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law welcome prominent scholars and speakers to the law school to explore topics of interest to the legal and scholarly community. Selected symposium presenters also contribute scholarly articles to a special publication of the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Law Review that is devoted to the symposium topic.

Bowen student finds passion for law that is out of this world]]> When Austin Waters began law school at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law, she joked she would be a space lawyer. She soon found, to her surprise, that space attorneys are a real thing. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 just everything I wanted in life,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 had a telescope when I was little, and I鈥檇 stare at the sky. I wanted to be an astronomer or astrophysicist, but I鈥檓 very bad at math, so that didn鈥檛 work out so well.鈥� Instead, Waters earned a bachelor鈥檚 degree in literature and a minor in philosophy from State University of New York at Purchase. Then, she took a couple years off and worked various jobs, including a stint as a set assistant on 鈥淭he Pioneer Woman鈥� television show. 鈥淚 always knew I wanted to go back to school and thought I wanted to be a professor,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 also liked law as a subject.鈥� In 2015, Waters enrolled in Bowen鈥檚 part-time program 鈥� the state鈥檚 only part-time law program. As someone who likes to stay busy, Waters picked up the sport of ice skating while in law school. She practices four days a week and competes with the Diamond Edge Figure Skating Club of Little Rock. She works part-time in Bowen鈥檚 law library, is a member of the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Law Review, and is a Dean鈥檚 Fellow. 鈥淒uring my first year in law school, I was in a study group, and we joked about weird law we would get into,鈥� Waters said. 鈥淚 said I would be a space lawyer and go to moon.鈥� Since then, she has learned that space law is a new burgeoning field that provides a lot of opportunities to conduct research. In October 2018, Waters received a stipend through the University of Nebraska to travel to the International Law Conference in New York City. The award was based, in part, on two space law papers Waters wrote for her international law class and the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Law Review. The first paper discussed the legality of asteroid mining based on United Nations treaties made in the 1960s, which consider outer space the 鈥渃ommon heritage of mankind.鈥� Waters鈥� research indicates international law needs a clear framework if countries wish to encourage mining. Her second paper discussed space debris mitigation and the legality of who may clean up debris from objects shot into space. Sometimes this debris can stay in space up to 10,000 years. After she graduates in May, Waters plans to return to the East Coast where her mother and fiance鈥檚 family live. She hasn鈥檛 ruled out pursuing a Master of Laws in space law, but first she plans to pursue a master鈥檚 degree in library science. 鈥淭here鈥檚 not a direct path to be a space lawyer right now,鈥� Waters said. 鈥淭here are not a lot of opportunities, but as technologies progress they are opening up, not just in the public sector like NASA, but in the private sector as well.鈥� Top photo: Law school student Austin Waters researches space law.聽Photo by Benjamin Krain]]> /news-archive/2018/08/06/law-review-apprentices/ Mon, 06 Aug 2018 16:24:07 +0000 /news/?p=71320 ...
