In March, 2012, the Journal and The

Development hosted a full-day symposium,

multi-disciplinary exploration of immigration reform that was
thoughtful, intellectually rigorous and provocative.
On November 11, 2011, JCRED co-sponsored an engaging day long
symposium,

Admissions. The event, which was held at the Law School and

and gaining admission to law school.
On November 12, 2010, the Journal convened a symposium on
the topic of
Legal, Secular, and Religious Perspectives on Marriage
Equality/Marriage Protection/Same Sex Marriage. We were honored
