SUMMARY:February Membership CLE
DESCRIPTION:February is Sexual and Reproductive Health Awareness Month. Please join us on February 19\, 2025\, for Abortion Bans\, Criminal Law\, and Pregnancy Prosecution in Texas\, presented by the Sissy Farenthold Reproductive Justice Defense Project. Texas’s criminalization of abortion has created new questions at the intersection of criminal law and healthcare access. The ramifications and extent of these laws are still being litigated and lived in Texas. This presentation will cover the important statutory provisions and the most current case law to dispel misinformation and disinformation that exists. We will also share information about Texas prosecutions we are tracking. \nThe presenters are: \nBlake Rocap is the director of the Sissy Farenthold Reproductive Justice Defense Project [wkq4tmkab.cc.rs6.net] at the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice housed at Texas Law.

He and his wife have lived in Austin for almost thirty years with a succession of labradors and their two daughters who are now inexplicably teenagers. \nCristina I. Ramirez is the criminal defense lead of the Sissy Farenthold Reproductive Justice Defense Project [wkq4tmkab.cc.rs6.net] at UT Law’s Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice. Prior to this role\, Cristina served as a public defender in the Travis County Public Defender’s Office\, where she represented clients on misdemeanor and felony charges\, as well as collateral ALR\, parole\, and protective order hearings.

SUMMARY:UT Minority Women Pursuing Law Professional Clothing Drive
DESCRIPTION:Your CS Committee is off and running. We are participating in a professional clothing drive.  We just need you all to go through your closets to find professional clothing in good condition that you would love to gift to help the UT MWPL members. Please ask any friends or colleagues to do the same. The purpose of this drive is to provide MWPL members with access to professional clothing\, so that they may walk into spaces while pursuing a career in law with confidence. This sounds like a mission we can all get behind. \nThe drive will be held on November 6th\, 2024. Our job is to collect donations and have them to our collection sites in time for the committee to get them to MWPL. Please aim to have them to collections sites by November 1st. These donations may consist of professional attire\, including but not limited to: blazers\, pants\, skirts\, shoes\, blouses\, suits\, and dresses. Please be sure that any donations gifted are in good condition. \nMWPL is not a nonprofit organization\, they do not offer tax exemption forms for any donations. However\, our support and presence are incredibly valuable to the MWPL community. \nCurrently\, we have two collection sites. If you would like to offer up a collection site\, we have north and central covered so south would be optimal if anyone has the ability.  Please contact Beth Payan with any questions. beth.payan@traviscounty.tx.gov. \n  \nCollection Sites: \nNorth: \nKristin Weaver \nDiggs & Sadler \n9600 N. Mopac Expy Suite 775 \n  \n  \n  \nCentral: \nGabrielle Smith \nLloyd Gosselink \n816 Congress Ave.\, Suite 1900
