Two hundred years after the signing of the Constitution of the United States of America, it's hard to find reason to celebrate what's been called the most important part of the Bill of Rights, the Fourth Amendment, University of Florida Law Professor Christopher Slobogin said in a presentation at the law school on Sept. 19. In his presentation in the Chesterfield Smith Ceremonial Classroom, part of the UF's Constitution Day activities, Slobogin spoke on "The Constitution and Surveillance by the Government."

With a personal mandate to make the world a better place, Whitney M. Untiedt (JD 05) works at Three Rivers Legal Services in Gainesville, providing legal assistance to people with serious issues who cannot afford to hire private counsel. As a native Virginian and graduate of the College of William and Mary, Untiedt had every intention of moving back to her home state after law school graduation—but she just couldn’t bring herself to leave Gainesville. "As graduation drew closer, I realized I wasn't ready to leave Florida—we call it the 'Gainesville Curse,'" she said. "I had been working at the Public Defender’s office as an intern, and I really enjoyed the experience, so I interviewed there and was hired for a full-time job."
"Florida Tomorrow: The Campaign for the University of Florida" will kick off Friday, Sept. 28, with events at UF and the Levin College of Law. Students are encouraged to stop by the law school campus for a day of fun and educational activities.
There will be numerous faculty presentations, and a barbecue sponsored by the Gene and Elaine Glasser Fund, open to all students, faculty, staff and alumni, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the law school's Marcia Whitney Schott Courtyard. Open Houses and tours will be taking place throughout the day, as well as a Law Student Art Show in the Lawton Chiles Legal Information Center. Contact Kelley Frohlich at 352-273-0640 for more information.

The tour’s stop at UF is one of more than 150 stops Komen On the Go is making across the country to heighten awareness of breast health and breast cancer and drive a deeper commitment from young women to commit to everyday health habits to reduce their risk for the disease.

University of Florida Law Professors Rod Uphoff, Kenneth Nunn, and Juan Perea (pictured left to right) gathered Tuesday, Sept. 18, to discuss the controversy surrounding the "Jena Six," a group of six African American teenagers who have been arrested and charged with crimes related to their alleged involvement in the assault of a white teenager in Jena, Louisiana, last December. The incident, one of many racially charged events that have occurred in the town since what has been called a prank involving the "white tree" on the Jena High School campus, has drawn international attention as critics have claimed that the arrests and subsequent charges were racially motivated.
