Professor John Ingram

the Employer of an Apparent Servant," has been published in 41 Tort Trial
and Insurance Practice Law Journal 1 (2005).
Professor Rogelio Lasso
Activities 
He was a guest presenter Jan. 27 during
the Martin Luther King Jr. Week celebration at the University of
California-Davis. His presentation, "Diversity as a matter of National
Security: A Comprehensive Strategy to Increase Diversity in Law Schools,"
focused on the Grutter v. Bollinger decision, and how it can be used to
increase diversity in institutions of higher learning.
On February 24-26, he will be in

Opportunity's 2006 Mid-Winter Academic Enhancement Seminar Feb. 24 through 26,

for minorities and low-income students to attend law school. Among other things
CLEO provides pre-law recruitment, counseling, placement assistance and
training. Since 2002, CLEO has also been providing academic success programs
for first year law students.
Publications
Professor Lasso's article, "Some
Potential Casualties of Moving Beyond the Black/White Paradigm to Build Racial
Coalitions," was just published at 12 Washington & Lee Race and Ethnic
Ancestry Law Journal 81 (2005). In the article, he argues that while it
is a mistake to ignore the effects of racism on Latinos, Asians, and Native
Americans, it is dangerous to all racial groups to dilute the racial experience
of African-Americans by failing to fully understand it and, indeed, by
embracing it. The article also argues that before we can embrace the ideal
of coalition building, two questions need to be answered: First, Are coalitions
effective and if so, for whom are they effective? Second, if racial coalitions
are only effective when they form to demand racial equality, can they achieve
racial equality for all people of color?
Professor Timothy P. O'Neill
Activities 
He will be a guest presenter April 28
for the Faculty Scholarship Workshop Series hosted by the Salmon P. Chase
