After reviewing several terrific applications, the NDLSC Executive Board is proud to announce that Washington, D.C., The City of Magnificent Distances, will play host to our 2010 National Convention March 12-14th.   We want to thank all those that applied, and offer our congratulations to our host chapters at George Washington University Law School and Columbus Law School at The Catholic University of America.  

Fellow Democrats:   Christmas. Hanukkah. Kwanzaa. Dawali. Solstice. No matter our traditions, as the weather turns cold and the days shorten, our thoughts turn to reflection on the year past, celebration of those we hold dear, and anticipation of the year ahead. At NDLSC, that means planning for our 2010 National Convention at George Washington University Law School and Columbus Law School at The Catholic University of America, March 12-14th, 2009.  

In November 2009, the challenges that we face are a test to our commitment to the ideas and hope of one year ago. We are in another pivotal moment. We must Make November Count AGAIN! There is no better way to recommit yourself to the vision of a hopeful future than to support an organization of young lawyers with a simple but noble purpose - to ensure fairness in the voting process, using the law as both a shield and a sword. Please make November count again by donating to the National Democratic Law Students Council.   To donate now, click here.
