第二篇：法学院社会实践简报

缅怀先烈为祖国祈福送法下乡促和谐发展

——法学院暑期社会实践活动纪实

为促进社会和谐，引导法学院学生学习贯彻科学发展观，全面提高法学院学生的综合素质，2009年7月7日，法学院暑期社会实践活动服务队一行14人在院团委王虎林老师的带领下，来到驻马店市确山县竹沟镇开展了为期一周的社会实践活动。法学院暑期社会实践小分队是校团委按照项目化运作组建的暑期文化科技卫生“三下乡”社会实践活动重点队之一。经过充分的准备之后，队员们开始了期待已久的竹沟之行。

烈日当空舞斗志征程路上展英姿

7月7日下午，虽然天气炎热，但队员们的热情丝毫没有被热浪击退，大家精神饱满地向确山县出发了。经过近四个小时的颠簸，终于来到了目的地——驻马店确山县竹沟镇。竹沟镇位于确山县西30公里处，全镇辖15个行政村，2.8万人口，总面积185平方公里，是一座新兴的小城镇，也是革命老区，素有革命圣地——“小延安”之美誉。稍事休整之后，王老师就立刻给队员们召开了一个简短的会议，再一次强调了此行的目的、任务和意义，动员大家一定要认真学习、细心服务、热情帮助、深入调查、了解社会、提高认识。队员们也纷纷表示要珍惜机会、认真实践、努力学习，在艰苦的环境中锻炼意志、磨砺品格，在社会实践活动中陶冶思想情操，提升道德境界，增长知识才干，培养爱国情怀，激励报国之志，为将来更好地服务祖国和人民打下坚实的基础。会后，队员们讨论了活动的设置及安排，进行了小组分工，各小组就自身的课题展开了热烈的讨论。在讨论过程中，队员们明确了团队意识，坚定了圆满完成此次社会实践的信心。在此后的一周时间里，队员们围绕“缅怀先烈，祝福祖国，送法下乡，服务老区”这一活动主题，开展了一系列丰富多彩的活动。

重温历史祈福祖国

7月8日上午，按照计划王老师首先带领大家来到小延安街，参观了确山竹沟革命纪念馆，通过参观来初步了解将要开展实践活动的这个镇的大致情况。该纪念馆始建于1956年，由周恩来总理题写馆名，是全国建立较早的革命纪念馆

之一。馆内有革命旧址31处，文物、文献、图片等近千件，是全国重点文物保护单位。竹沟是中原地区革命的摇篮，刘少奇、李先念、彭雪枫、张震、方毅、朱理治、陈少敏等老一辈无产阶级革命家都曾在这里工作和战斗过。队员们仔细的观看了记录革命历史的图片和锈迹斑斑的刀枪，在重温历史的的过程中感受着老一辈革命家们为了革命胜利殚精竭虑、义无反顾、不怕牺牲的革命精神。随后，队员们参观了中共中央中原局、中共河南省委、新四军各支队的机关以及刘少奇、李先念、彭雪枫等革命领导人的办公室旧址，看到先烈们那简陋的工作生活条件，回想革命时期战火纷飞的情景，队员们无不觉得震撼和感动。参观过后，队员们都表达了对老一辈革命家的尊敬以及对一代代中国人共同建设的伟大祖国的珍惜和祈福。

深入群众走访调研农村新貌

7月8日下午，服务队按照事先分好的三个小组，深入竹沟镇农村进行走访调研。队员们根据各自的课题：农业税取消对竹沟镇农民生活的影响、当地弱势群体的权益保护和建国六十周年以来当地农民的实得实惠，兵分三路，带上事先准备好的资料进行走访。走访过程中，队员们耐心地向田间农民询问农业税取消后他们所获得的实际利益，细心地与农家妇女交流妇联的存在对她们权益的切实保护，仔细地同路边老汉谈论建国六十周年以来他们生活的巨大变化。回去的路上，大家迫不及待地交流自己的想法以及调研走访的成果，大家为政府资金不足而不能切实解决农民生产生活困难觉得无奈，为因贫困而上不了学的适龄儿童感到可惜，为基础设施的破旧给农民带来的不便而深感痛心。在积极调研的过程中，农民法制意识的淡薄和农村法治建设的落后让大家感觉到了加强农村基础法律宣传的紧迫性与重要性。同时，在此过程中，大家也收获了很多新的知识，开阔了看问题的视角。通过社会实践活动，队员们深刻体会到社会实践活动的重要性，感到只有亲身深入到基层生活中，才能充分全面地了解最真实的情况，才能有助于生活在大学校园中的大学生们更加深刻地了解整个社会。

开设法律咨询服务农民群众

7月9日，服务队在竹沟镇进行了法律宣传并为当地农民提供法律咨询。队员们来到竹沟镇中心，在人流最多的集市摆好桌椅和事先准备好的印有法律知识的通讯录、笔记本、纸牌和台历等物品，重点向农民们介绍《土地法》方面的知

识，希望农民们能更好地知道和了解并学会和运用法律知识，以更好地维护自身权益。活动过程中，农民群众时时驻足，或认真研究宣传册上的法律知识，或仔细询问日常生活中涉及到法律的一些问题，或细心聆听队员们的专业讲解；队员们则是运用自己的所学并结合相关法律条文对农民提出的问题一一进行了解答，而对于自己不能很好地解决的问题，队员们都做了详细的记录待回校向老师询问后再给农民答复。通过本次法律咨询活动，队员们切身体会到了农村法治建设方面存在的问题，深刻感受到了农民淡薄的法律意识在生活中的种种不便。同时，活动过程中大家知识储备量的不足也让队员们感觉到了学好专业知识的重要性，以更好地帮助农民解决法律问题，为农村的法治建设做出自己的贡献。队员们的亲切、真挚和耐心赢得了当地农民的一致好评。

义务支教重责任播撒希望暖人心

周总理曾说过“再穷不能穷教育，再苦不能苦孩子”，孩子是竹沟的未来和希望。为开拓老区学生的视野，使他们树立崇高的理想，7月10日，服务队来到来到竹沟镇完全中学开展义务支教活动。队员们与同学们展开了亲切的交谈，就学习生活以及人生理想方面的问题进行了深入的交流，激发了同学们对美好未来的憧憬，促使他们早日立志成才。

完全中学是竹沟镇唯一一所中学，教学条件较为艰苦。从孩子们的眼睛中队员读懂了这些孩子对知识的渴望和对外面世界的向往，也正是从他们的眼睛中队员们更加深刻地意识到此行的责任。为提高活动效果，支教队分为三个小组进行授课和交流，队员们用亲切的态度，幽默的语言打破了与同学们之间的隔阂，每个小队都很快的融为一个整体。在交流的过程中，队员们还将带来的文具发放到同学们手中，希望他们珍惜时光，好好学习。交流之余，大家还开展了游戏活动，以进一步拉近同学们与队员们的距离，树立了他们展示自我的信心。在支教队离开的时候，完中的老师和同学都流露出依依不舍之情，他们希望服务队能经常到完中组织这样的活动，与同学们进行沟通和交流。

为了使热爱学习的孩子不因贫困而失学，法学院团委一直以来都尽自己最大的努力帮助老区的贫困学生顺利完成学业。其中，正在读高三的王莹莹已连续受资助5年了。因为学业繁重，我们没能见到她，但我们了解到她在校学习成绩非常优异，参加课外活动也十分积极；去年刚接受资助的葛红云今年初三毕业，当

获知她被驻马店市重点高中确山县一高提前录取时，王老师和队员们都非常兴奋。下午，在王老师的带领下，队员们对即将受资助的一名品学兼优、家庭贫困的学生程格进行了家访，为另一个有梦想的女孩插上飞翔的翅膀。

为期一天的支教活动，时间虽短，但意义深远，为老区的孩子们了解外面世界打开了一扇窗，不仅使他们开阔了视野，而且还使他们对未来充满了希望与向往。不论是支教还是资助，不论是交流还是游戏，都是一种思想的传播，爱心的传递。希望革命老区的孩子不再因生活贫困而失学，不再因知识贫乏而落后。

缅怀革命先烈铭记厚重历史

7月11日下午，服务队一行在王虎林老师的带领下徒步前往竹沟镇烈士陵园。1958年，中共河南省委、省人民政府批准兴建竹沟革命烈士陵园，陵园共收集文物、资料和图片上千件，办有两个主题陈列厅。是全国第一批重点烈士纪念建筑物保护单位，被省政府确定为全省中小学德育教育基地和首批爱国主义教育基地。首先映入队员们眼帘的是一座仿古牌楼式建筑，“竹沟革命烈士陵园”六个大字在周围苍翠的松柏的烘托下显得庄严肃穆。随后，在导游的引导下，大家先后参观了“竹沟惨案”和“中原烽火”两个展示当年革命前辈斗争场面和丰功伟绩的陈列厅，并配合河南电视台录制了《中国历史文化名镇》的宣传片。出展览厅，大家便看到高大庄严的陵台上，耸立着宏伟挺拔的“竹沟革命纪念碑”，周围4座纪念亭呈翼型环峙，原国家主席李先念题写的碑名苍劲有力，整座建筑气势迫人，大家在碑前深深的三鞠躬，表达了对革命烈士的敬仰之情。碑后是高大的革命烈士公墓和悼念英烈的碑林，苍翠松柏环绕四周。置身于这宁静而肃穆的陵园中，队员们深深感受到自己肩上的责任和使命，更加坚定了热爱祖国和人民的信念。

确山之行成果多实践归来收获丰

7月12日，法学院2009年暑期社会实践服务团在院办会议室召开“实践归来话收获”座谈会，大家一致认为：暑期社会实践时间虽短，却给队员们带来许多思考与感悟。小延安街上革命旧址的参观，烈日下热闹集市的法律咨询；走入农户与农民的亲切交谈，坐进教室与孩子们的亲密交流……所有的一切都化成一幅幅剪影深深烙印在每一位队员的脑海中。“纸上得来终觉浅，绝知此事要躬行”，大家以实践活动来亲身接触社会、了解社会，在实践活动中汲取营养、丰富知识。此次暑期“三下乡”社会实践活动，对于队员们来说不仅是一次实践，还是一次人生经历，是一生宝贵的财富，它不仅让队员们了解了很多有关当年民族英雄们的光辉事迹，更使大家体会到农民生活的辛酸，也认识到“三下乡”社会实践活动在提高全民法律意识，推动全面实现小康社会过程中的重要性。相信回到学校之后，队员们会因明白了大学生的历史使命和责任而更加努力学习，为社会的明天献出自己一份力，为祖国的美好未来奉献自己的青春。

Welcome to Yale Law School!

I am Harold Koh, and I am the Dean here.Please call me Harold.I really mean that.I have taught Procedure and International Law here for more than two decades, and I have called New Haven home for nearly five.If that is who I am, who are you? You, collectively, are the 197th group of law students to receive your legal education here at Yale.Formal legal education began here in New Haven around 1814, at least three years before Chief Justice Isaac Parker of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts founded a law school up at Harvard, and 32 years before a law school was founded down at Princeton, which closed its doors only six years later.As you will hear this afternoon, when Professor John Langbein tells you about the early history of Yale Law School, legal education first came here more than 200 years ago, when a Yale college graduate named Seth Staples and two of his students—Samuel Hitchcock and David Daggett, all of whose portraits now hang in Room 127—started to teach budding lawyers in the New Haven building that became Yale Law School.(Parenthetically, that explains the seal of the Yale Law School that is now your shield: which honors these founders with a field of Staples on the left, in honor of Seth Staples;a greyhound on the right in honor of David Daggett(whose original family name was Doget);and an alligator on top— which Samuel Hitchcock and his family took as their symbol after the family moved to the Bahamas.)You, nearly the 200th class ever to study here, include 189 entering JD students from 77 undergraduate institutions, 28 LLMs, 7 new JSD students, 14 transfer students, and several visiting students.You are, quite simply, the finest group of entering law students assembled anywhere on this planet this year.Each year, one school in this world gets to say that, and this year, happily, it is us.You are the best, not just because you are so able, but because you are so interesting.Collectively, you have lived or worked in 77 countries;you read and speak at least 30 languages.(Take a look at this map).Your classmates include: A Chinese yo-yo artist, a hip-hop dancer;a certified judge for the Kansas City Barbeque Society;a scholar of Korean soap opera;a firefighter;a member of the College Football Hall of Fame;winner of 2007 The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest;a former Brazilian professional soccer player;a sailor who twice crossed the Atlantic;the youngest university graduate in the history of Germany;and the leader of the cymbal section of a marching band that once played at the Vatican.By the numbers, your group includes: 1 Flamenco dancer 2 Military officers 2 Debate champions 2 Competitive skydivers 3 Radio talk show hosts 4 Black belts in martial arts 4 Eagle Scouts 5 Mountain climbers, including 2 who climbed Mt.Kilimanjaro A television producer who won 5 Emmy awards 7 Marathon runners And a partridge in a pear tree.:-)

Now hearing this litany, I know what you are saying: “So what on earth am I doing here?”

If it makes you feel better, let me assure you that you are not alone.I know just how you feel.The only difference between you and me is that we started law school 30 years apart.Like you, until now, I have been lucky in my career.Like you, I have been to places I‟ve never dreamed I could go.And like you, I have sometimes wondered whether I got to where I am at Yale Law School because somebody well meaning made the wrong decision.But what I have learned over time is that there is no such thing as a wrong decision.There is the decision that you make, then what you do to make it the right decision.On the day I was invited to clerk for the Supreme Court, I asked my late father: “Do I deserve this?” He paused, and answered, “Of course not.No one deserves to clerk for the Supreme Court.But if you give it your best, by the time you are done, you will have deserved it.”

So that is what I say to you about Yale Law School: To be at Yale Law School is a very great privilege.None of us really deserves to be here.But if we all do what we have to do, if we make this place our own, if we do our best and force our school to live up to its own highest aspirations, then all of us will belong here.So that is my first message: today marks the start of our journey together.To prove that I really do intend to journey with you, please mark your calendars for a week from this Saturday—Sept.6—when you can tell the Dean to take a hike, then actually go with him.We will gather at a state park in Hamden and hike to the top of Sleeping Giant mountain(it is actually a foothill, but for us in Connecticut, it‟s as close as we get to a mountain).At the top, we will take pictures, survey the landscape, then hike back down for lunch to celebrate our new beginning.As you look around this room, consider this fact: for each of you sitting here, 20 others applied for your place.We have far more qualified applicants than we can accept, but you were selected for a reason.You were chosen to be a part of this dynamic community because of the unique talents, ideas, and energy that you possess.So look to your left;look to your right.You see what Yale Law School is, and must always be: a community of remarkable individuals, committed to excellence and humanity in everything you do.From century to century, from class to class, this School has remained a community of commitment to the values we share.In your time here, you will hear that phrase from me often:

A community of commitment.A community of commitment.There are many committed individuals who belong to no communities.There are many communities that share no commitments.But what makes the Yale Law School a special law school is that it is a community of commitment: commitment to the highest excellence in our work as lawyers and scholars, commitment to the greatest humanity in our dealings with others, and commitment to lives genuinely devoted not to selfishness, but service.As you look to your left and right, please remember one more thing: this is a place where we are committed to each other.At this school, you will learn best through dialogue with one another.The people who will get you through here;the people who will teach you most about how to be a good lawyer and how to be a good person are the classmates you meet for the first time today.Your classmates will stay with you throughout your lives.They will attend your wedding, join your vacations, serve as godparents of your children, watch over you in illness, send you emails and clients, vouch for you at your Senate confirmations, and speak at your funeral.So if you are wondering: how am I going to make my way here? The answer is simple: Trust your classmates.Right now they are your classmates;but in time, they will be your soulmates.Think of them as your brothers-and sisters-in-law.You are all in this together, and the time to start supporting one another is right now.Now all of this sounds fine, except for one thing: when it comes to Law School, your classmates are novices, too.None of them can answer the questions that cloud your mind: like, how do I get off to a good start in law school?

Well, those are relatively easy questions.Getting oriented is what orientations are for, and this week is designed to help you figure out where things are, and who can help you solve your transition problems.Each of you is assigned to a Dean‟s Advisor;let me ask them all to stand up: Yaw Anim BJ Ard Sipoura Barzideh Jennifer Bennett Lauren Chamblee Caroline Edsall Elliot Morrison Christina Parajon Sergio Perez Sujeet Rao In our Office of Student Affairs, we have a wonderful Dean of Students in Sharon Brooks;a marvelous Student Life Coordinator, Maura Sichol-Sprague;Sachi Rodgers, Special Project Coordinator in charge of Student Organizations;Marie Battista, Senior Administrative Assistant;and Joe Lynch, Student Journals Assistant.As you will learn, in addition to having the best students and faculty in the world, we have the most humane and dedicated administrative staff in the world.The real Deans of Yale Law School, the Administrative Deans who make this place run, are pictured at the front of your facebook, but let me introduce some of them now.First, our two deputy deans:

Reva Siegel, Deputy Dean for Intellectual Life and the Nicholas Katzenbach Professor of Law;

Jon Macey, Deputy Dean for Curriculum and Sam Harris Professor of Corporate Law, Corporate Finance and Securities Law;

Our Librarian, Professor Blair Kaufmann, and:

Megan A.Barnett

Dean for Academic Affairs

Toni Hahn Davis

Dean for Alumni and Public Affairs

and the Graduate Program

Mark LaFontaine

Dean for Development

Asha Rangappa

Dean of Admissions

Mark Templeton

Dean for Finance & Human Resources

Mike Thompson

Dean for Facilities

Jan Conroy

Director of Communications

Judith Calvert

Registrar

Pat Barnes

Director of Financial Aid

Behind them stand many, many others whom I encourage you to meet personally.You will spend much of the days ahead learning from these new friends how the school really operates.They will tell each of you that you have the opportunity to craft an extraordinary law school experience, because you have joined a supportive community that will offer you the resources you need.Let me spend my time this morning discussing a somewhat different question: not how do I study law? But how do I think about studying law? That is what we like to call here: the meta question.As the late Professor Leon Lipson once said, “At Yale, we believe that anything you can do, I can do meta.”

How exactly do you think about this brave new world that you are entering? This world of Law and Law Talk?

Well, first, the good news.As my predecessor, Dean Guido Calabresi, famously told the entering class each year, “My friends, you are off the treadmill now.” After years of carefully triangulating your course to get to this place, you‟ve made it!You don‟t have to do anything here just to get ahead.Here at Yale Law School, we have no class rank.All of you can succeed here.All of you should succeed here.But sadly, there are too many lawyers in this world who remember the day they started law school as the day they began the rat race.But in the words of Yale‟s chaplain, William Sloane Coffin: “Remember that even if you win the rat race, you are still a rat.”

I ask you to think about your law school career differently.I ask you to think about it, not as a competition, but as an adventure.Yale Law School is an adventure, which should have at least three elements:

First, trying new things.Second, combining theory with practice.Third, deciding what you stand for.Let me say a word about each.First, trying new things.Experimentation.Explore the rare intellectual freedom that this school offers.We have very few rules.We have minimal required curriculum.Make the most of that freedom.Don‟t spend your time repeating things you already know you can do.Instead, try things you‟ve never tried.So if you are a good writer, try public speaking.If you are an accomplished debater, join a law journal.If you are a poet, study law and economics.And if you are a mathematician or number cruncher by training, take law and literature.By entering law school, you are not ending your education in the liberal arts;you are extending it.The same goes for your summers.If you have lived your whole life in the States, work for a human rights group in Africa.If you always wanted to be a criminal defense lawyer, try working in a prosecutor‟s office.If you are convinced you want to be a corporate lawyer, spend a summer doing legal aid, and vice versa.Exercise all your intellectual muscles, not just one.At Yale, we intend our approach to legal education to be interdisciplinary, interprofessional, and international.What does that mean?

By an interdisciplinary approach, we mean to show you how the intellectual discipline of law connects with other academic disciplines, some of which you studied before you got here.Law is not the only discipline in this great university.We have a great law faculty, whose members hold advanced degrees in law, of course;but many also hold advanced degrees in philosophy, history, political science, sociology, economics, and medicine.Two of these professors will deliver introductory lectures on their subjects of specialty.Tomorrow afternoon, Professor Jules Coleman will give an introductory lecture on “law and philosophy for physicists.” On September 2, Professor Carol Rose will give an introductory lecture on “law and economics for poets.”

They will ask you to start viewing the law through many lenses, not just one.That will begin this afternoon, when you hear the first two lectures in our Introductions series, from Professor Bill Eskridge, who will give you a tour of the American legal system, and Professor John Langbein who will introduce you to the history of legal education and the Yale Law School.Those will be followed later this week by lectures tomorrow on professional responsibility by Professor Jean Koh Peters;and on Friday, Sept.5, on public interest law by Professor Brett Dignam.And in the weeks ahead, you will also hear from two accomplished graduates of our school who made their mark in different fields: one, Ben Heineman, who became corporate counsel of one of the largest economies in the world, the General Electric Co., speaking on values and vision in legal practice, and another, Margaret Marshall, who was born in South Africa, but after her JD here became Chief Justice of her home state of Massachusetts.Please attend these introductions.They are designed to cast new light on your coursework.You will find them fascinating and useful in seeing how law relates to other concepts in the world of ideas.In addition to being interdisciplinary, I mentioned that our approach is interprofessional.By interprofessional, we mean that we are not the only professional school in this university.You should think hard about how the profession of law relates to these other professions, some of them professions in which you have already engaged: law and business, law and public health, law and media, and law and the environment.Law shapes these fields, and these fields generate new law.To lead these fields, we need lawyers who are genuinely bilingual, who are versatile enough to lead these coordinate fields, so in each of these areas, we are developing joint programs with the other professional schools here at Yale.It is not an accident that in each of these other professional fields, graduates of Yale Law School are leaders as well.That is because if there is one common feature of Yale Law graduates, it is their entrepreneurial spirit, their willingness to take chances.The Dean‟s Program on the Profession is a speaker series that features Yale Law School graduates who have made a special mark within the law or who have moved outside the law to become leaders of the entertainment field, the health care industry, professional sports, venture capital, you name it.What their careers tell you is that just because you are studying law, it does not mean that a lawyer is all you will ever be.To explore your full potential, they will tell you, you must take risks.And if you, the most privileged law students in the world, don‟t have the courage to take risks, who else will?

In entering law and its related fields, you will need to learn how to write again, and you will need to learn how to read again.The most important suggestion I can make is to read closely.Read more closely than you have read before.Read like your client‟s life depends on it, because believe me, it will.And as you read, think of the judges who wrote those opinions as real people, trying to make real decisions.Imagine how you would have made those decisions had they been yours to make.And at some point, I assure you, the magic moment will come, described this way by Hector in The History Boys:

The best moments in reading are when you come across something—a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things—which you had thought special and particular to you.Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead.And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.1

But reading alone is not enough.Which leads me to my second suggestion, in all you do here: Combine Theory with Practice

When you come to my office, as all of you should, you will see on my wall, in Chinese characters, one of my favorite sayings: “Theory without practice is as lifeless as practice without theory is thoughtless.” Alan Bennett, The History Boys 56.Yale Law School is and must always remain the world‟s premier center of legal theory.We believe that no single intellectual discipline has a monopoly on wisdom: that is what it means to be an interdisciplinary law school.How do we get nations to obey the law? The answer to that question lies not just in the law itself, but in such related disciplines as psychology, economics, philosophy, sociology, political science, anthropology.But if you want to understand the relationship between law and justice, you must look not just to the Uniform Commercial Code and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure but to the humanities: great plays like Shakespeare‟s Henry V or The Merchant of Venice, novels like Melville‟s Billy Budd, or works of art like Picasso‟s Guernica.If you don‟t know those disciplines, use your time here to introduce yourselves to them.Spend your time not just in our phenomenal Law Library, but at Yale Repertory Theater, the newly renovated Art Gallery, the Center for British Art, the Globalization Center, and the Macmillan Center for International and Area Studies.Most of all, the study of law is the search for ideas.A professor of mine once said, “Ideas are not butterflies.They are butterfly nets.” Ideas help you to capture insights, organize experience, impose intellectual order on natural disorder.Which is why you chose to attend a great law school in a great university.Once you begin practicing law, you soon find yourself with precious little time to read, reflect, or get new ideas.Law firms have no English departments.Legal aid clinics don‟t teach you economics.If you want to understand more deeply what is right, not just what is right for your client, what is the truth, not just what argument works, you need to study ideas.You need to study theory.But for every yin there is a yang.Theory without practice is as lifeless, as practice without theory is thoughtless.Theory alone cannot change the world;lawyers must actually be skilled in the practice of law to change the world.When the judge asks you why your client should win, your answer cannot be, “Because John Rawls said so.”

Great lawyers are made, not born.Which is why each and every one of you should take a course or more in our superb clinical program.Use internships, externships, and summer practice to understand better how you can use your legal skills to change the world.Which brings me to the subtle virtues of New Haven, your new home away from home.A poll in the Anchorage Daily Times reported that New Haven has two of the top ten pizza restaurants in America.It is the home of two Tony-award winning theaters.Some of the best music and the best arts and ideas festival in the country.And it has a remarkable legal history.But most relevant for our purposes, New Haven is a model laboratory for the practice of law.Over the years, Yale law students have helped to build day care centers for unwed mothers, to create nonprofit corporations to shelter the homeless, to found a leading Charter School and community bank, to do the legal work for the Shaw‟s Grocery Store on Whalley Ave.Three decades ago, two contemporaries both worked in the clinical program here;each said it was the best experience they had at Yale Law School.Their names are Bill Clinton and Clarence Thomas.If each of them can do it, and get something out of it, then so can you.In our clinic, we think locally, but we act globally.We do not limit our clinical work to the confines of New Haven.Over the years, our human rights clinic has promoted human rights around the world.It has represented Haitian and Cuban refugees at the Supreme Court, exposed abuses in East Timor, sent students to Bosnia and Kosovo and Sierra Leone and Cambodia, supported international prosecutors in The Hague, and helped think about the structure of constitutional democracy in Iraq.Yale graduates, professors and students in our 9/11 Clinic participated on all sides of Supreme Court‟s military commissions decision last year, and filed several of the briefs in Boumediene, the Guantanamo case that will be argued this fall.Our Supreme Court Clinic has several cases pending on the Supreme Court‟s September docket list.And when Homeland Security arrested two dozen workers this summer, first-year students dropped everything to represent each and every one of them at expedited bond hearings, and our Workers and Immigrants Rights Clinic continues that work today.That brings me, of course, to the issue of our day: globalization.As I said, your legal education should be not just interdisciplinary and interprofessional, but international.In the last four terms of the U.S.Supreme Court, no fewer than 25 cases involved globalization.On Friday morning, I will give you an introduction to transnational law that I hope will start you thinking about the relationship between law and globalization.And later this September, 20 of the world‟s leading constitutional court judges, including Justices Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer of our Supreme Court, will come to this building to talk about how the world‟s leading courts now deal with such diverse, yet common, global issues as torture, reproductive rights, affirmative action, terrorism, and same-sex marriage.These issues occupy our headlines.And what presidential candidate recently wrote this? “We Americans recall the words of our founders in the declaration of

independence, that we must pay „decent respect to the opinions of

mankind.‟ Our great power does not mean we can do whatever we

want whenever we want, nor should we assume we have all the

wisdom and knowledge necessary to succeed…We all have to live up

to our own high standards of morality and international responsibility.We cannot torture or treat inhumanely the suspected terrorists that we

have captured.We will fight the terrorists and at the same time defend

the rights that are the foundations of our society.”2

The speaker, of course, was John McCain, speaking in Europe.And we hope you will all join together in helping us address what is perhaps the greatest globalization challenge of our day: sustainability.As global citizens, one of the challenges that we all face As Tom Friedman of The New York Times recently noted, last year was by far the worst year for freedom in the world since the end of the Cold War.Almost four times as many states — 38 — declined in their freedom scores as improved.3 Strikingly, the least democratic countries in the world are those who derive most of their revenues from oil.So as the price of fuel rises, and with it the price of food and housing, every community must cut its reliance on fossil fuels, not just to save money, not just to protect the environment from global warming, not just to promote our national security, but to promote the rule of law that is this law school‟s mission.Sustainability begins at home.So we will start that conversation with Professor Dan Esty in his introductory lecture on environmental law on Sept.19.The Law School is joining with Yale University‟s sustainability efforts4 on a number of green initiatives designed to reduce the Law School‟s carbon footprint and help us work together as a community of faculty, staff, and students toward a more sustainable future for our campus.Some of these ideas are small changes we can make right away, like turning off lights and computer monitors, carpooling or usingpublic transportation, or using mugs and silverware instead of disposable items.In addition, the Law School‟s “Green Team,” headed by Associate Director of Student Affairs Maura Sichol-Sprague(maura.sichol-sprague@yale.edu)and Director of Alumni Affairs Abby Roth(abigail.roth@yale.edu), is working on larger Law John McCain, Op-ed, Financial Times(March 18, 2008);

第五篇：迎新简报

迎新生简报

在丹桂飘香的金秋，河南质量工程职业学院迎来了2010级新生。在经管系领导的带领下，我们系学生会工作人员与9月10日——9月11日早晨6：30在学院的文化广场等待新生的到来。

9月10日，天阴沉沉的，但这并没有打消大家的工作积极性，与此同时我系的迎新志愿者、教师、领导早早就来到了迎新现场。他们一遍一遍耐心而详细地为接新生而交代所有细节，每一道程序，在迎新过程中按照“首接责任制”开展迎新工作。

此外，为了提高新生在报名的流动速度，我系组织部分学生会成员带领新生前往宿舍安置行李，提高了我系的工作效率，为忙碌的家长减少了疑惑，减轻了负担；还在寝室贴上温馨小海报，用心感动着新生；学宣部的部分成员也充分展示出该系的特色，设置了最具特色的欢迎标志，展示了其独有的创意；经管系志愿者岗位分工明确，有专门负责帮助新生的学生干部队伍.在安顿完一批新生与家长之后，紧接着又有一批新生下了校车。这时下起了大雨，也许是老天在考验我们系学生会工作人员的毅力吧。工作人员立刻将新生与家长安顿在帐篷里，工作人员都被大雨淋湿了，却没有一个人说抱怨的话。在场的新生和家长 1 都被我们这种精神感动了。其中一位父亲对孩子说“明年的这个时候，在这个地方也应有你的身影”。

在我校文化广场，校训石前均有我们系学生会工作人员忙碌的身影。他们给新生们带路、拎行李、找宿舍。大家把自己的微笑带给每一位新生。

此次迎新实践体现了我们系学生会成员和各部工作人员不怕苦、不怕累的精神。相信在它熏陶与带动下，随着2010级新生的加入，我们河南质量工程职业学院的明天会更美！
