The symposium         will feature leading scholars, advocates, and public officials who will         examine the parallel racial and economic disparities in New Orleans and         the District of Columbia. Topic areas include the administration of         justice, long term and foster care, and accountability in disaster         planning and relief spending.<\/p>\n<p>The Symposium will be held on Friday, February 29, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., in         Building 38, Second Floor Windows Lounge, University of the District of         Columbia, David A. Clarke School of Law, 4200 Connecticut Avenue, NW         (Red Line Metro at Van Ness Station). The event is open to the public         and is wheelchair accessible. Following the symposium, a reception will         be held releasing the new edition of the Law Review.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, UDC-DCSL students, faculty, and administrators traveled to         Louisiana and worked in a variety of capacities on behalf of Katrina         survivors with local organizations. They conducted succession research         to assisting survivors with insurance claims on their homes; provided         assistance to the New Orleans Public Defenders Office resulting in the         release of dozens of accused who had served more time than if they had         been convicted; assisted exploited Latino day laborers to understand         their rights and receive payment; and helped rebuild a home. In December         2007, the Pro Bono Project of the Greater New Orleans Area named         UDC-DCSL its \u201cLaw School of the Year,\u201d and faculty members were         honored by the Louisiana State Supreme Court. The University of the         District of Columbia Law Review is a student-run periodical that         publishes articles of topical legal interest. Our aspiration is to serve         the community by raising awareness of important legal issues of social         concern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the D.C.
