Lakhdar he goes

VERY IMPORTANT! Canned message follows...

The Berkeley Journal of International Law Annual Riesenfeld Symposium will be held on Tuesday, April 5th, at 12:30 PM in Booth Auditorium. Special Advisor to the Secretary General of the United Nations Lakhdar Brahimi will be discussing the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Democracy Promotion, and the Future of the United Nations.

Introducing Mr. Brahimi will be last year's Riesenfeld Honoree, Professor Dick Buxbaum, as well as Dean Edley.

Please be sure to arrive promptly at 12:30 PM on Tuesday.

As an added bonus, I will attempt to liveblog the event (if I can get out of Int'l Trade in time). As a favor, if anyone on BJIL, or anyone else from Boalt who will attend the event (yes, including that homeless guy who always mooches on our free food...the one who probably has gone to enough law talks to get tenure at a T1 law school) can save me a seat I'd greatly appreciate it. If you so volunteer, please e-mail me at my berkeley addy.

More substantively, Mr. Brahimi is the reason why we had election in Iraq in January of this year, as opposed to 20XX. Every time Bush gets credit for the election it reminds of him getting credit for the 9/11 commission.

That homeless guy doesn't merely mooch lunches. He offers more interesting conversation than a good share Boalt students who show up to these events. I would go so far as to say that some of you flip, self-absorbed, anti-establishment, liberals could learn something from him. Or was he one of the people you think the City of Berkeley should clean up to make student lives run more smoothly?
