Posted By Career Services Staff, May 9, 2013

You are invited to the Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco on Friday, May 10, at 12:00 noon. Laurel G. Bellows, the President of the American Bar Association, will be delivering the keynote address on "The Fight for Liberty, Equality and Justice."

Meanwhile, there are more than 100,000 people in the United States who are forced to provide sex and labor services for their captors' profits. And according to some estimates, women continue to earn just 77 cents for every dollar that men earn. Come and learn about these issues and possible solutions.
The student rate is $7. For more information and to register, visit http://www.commonwealthclub.org/events/2013-05-10/laurel-bellows-aba-president-fight-liberty-equality-and-justice
