Meet up-and-coming civil rights attorney Ruth Carmi. Ruth will lead an in-depth discussion of her work defending the civil rights of Israel's Arab minority at the Legal and Public Policy Department of the Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC), the legal arm of the Reform Movement in Israel. She will also discuss the rights of women in Israel through the lens of her research on gender segregation in Israeli public space and her role as legal advisor for Jerusalem's Rape Crisis Center, where she has been a volunteer for seven years.

The Cardozo Society of Washington State is pleased to announce a new pro bono initiative in partnership with the Northwest Immigrants Rights Project (NWIRP). We are recruiting lawyers to join us in a coordinated effort to represent immigrants seeking political asylum in the United States. Asylum cases typically require approximately 20 to 30 hours of legal work over the course of the case. Most cases take several months from start to finish. Very little training is required to do this work and it is completely irrelevant what your normal practice area is.
