Email and network account information for 2013 Graduates
Comments: Comments Off
Hello Graduates and Congratulations.
As you move from being a student to being an alumnus, your relationship with our technology services changes, too.
Here’s some information about email and network accounts you may find helpful.
Law School Account
Law School (LawNet) network accounts remain accessible through July 31. Any personal files you wish to take with you must be copied to a USB thumb drive or emailed to another account by that date. Assuming you have printing credits available, you can also print until July 31 with your account.
University Account
Per CUIT guidelines, graduating students’ UNI accounts expire approximately 10 months after graduation. Your UNI will go through several status changes before finally expiring. It starts out as an active UNI, and over the 10 months after you leave Columbia, it goes through a grace period, then is set to expire, and finally expires. Understanding this process will help you plan for a smooth transition. Continue Reading…

Your Columbia Law School full-name email address (firstName.lastName@law.columbia.edu) will expire on July 31.

National Healthcare Decision Day: NYLAG’s LGBT Law Project
Comments: Comments Off
Join NYLAG’s LGBT Law Project, Columbia Law School’s OUTLaws, and Orrick, Herrington and Sutclif on April 18th at the LGBT Community Center.
You will have the opportunity to learn about and complete your health care proxy, living will and other life planning documents. While everyone needs these documents, LGBTQ people definitely need them! These documents give us the opportunity to name the people of our choice, our chosen family, to make healthcare decisions for us when we are not able to do so. We also can name who will be responsible for our remains when we pass away, so that how we identify and the choices we have made about the ways in which we live our lives will be respected until the very end.

Sharing for Prosperity: Tilting the Balance Back, Lecture and Discussion with Norway’s Minister of International Development, Heikki Eidsvoll Holmås
Comments: Comments Off
April 15, 2013
NYU Abu Dhabi Institute
19 Washington Square North
4:00 pm
RSVP to cic.rsvp@nyu.edu
Despite high levels of growth, poverty reduction has lagged behind in many countries. Income inequality is on the rise globally. Illicit financial flows leaving developing countries are ten times greater than the aid entering. How can the balance be tilted in favor of the poor? Taxes are needed to fund public expenditures. But if a country like the U.S. has trouble raising taxes from the rich – do developing countries stand a chance?
Join one minister who wants to make a difference, and find out how he plans to do it. Norway’s Minister of International Development, Mr. Heikki Eidsvoll Holmås, will give a lecture at New York University on April 15 at 4:00pm. The lecture will be followed by a discussion, Q&A, and a reception.
This event is organized by the Permanent Mission of Norway to the United Nations and the NYU Center on International Cooperation.

The Sovereign Citizen: Denaturalization and the Origins of the American Republic
A book launch with Patrick Weil (CNRS / Panthéon-Sorbonne University)
April 8, 2013, 12:00PM – 1:15PM, William and June Warren Hall, Room L104
Roger Newman will act as a discussant
It is about an unknown story: throughout the 20th century, more than 140,000 naturalized and native-born Americans were deprived of their citizenship. The Sovereign Citizen examines for the first time the mechanism, causes, and the conflicting enforcement of denaturalization. The conflict did not end without a harsh battle in the Supreme Court from 1942 til 1971 detailed in the book. The Court reversed the traditional definition of sovereignty rooted in the language of the Constitution and the 14th Amendment: in America, sovereignty belongs to the citizens themselves, not to the state.
Patrick Weil is a Visiting Professor of Law at Yale Law School and a senior research fellow at the French National Research Center at the Panthéon-Sorbonne University. Professor Weil’s work focuses on comparative immigration, citizenship, and Church States law and policy. Among his most recent publications are How to be French? Nationality in the Making since 1789 (Duke University Press, 2008), “Why the French Laïcité is Liberal,” Cardozo Law Review, June 2009, Vol. 30, Number 6, 2699-2714, and (with Son-Thierry Ly) “The Anti-racist Origins of the American Immigration Quota System,” Social Research, Volume 77, Number 1 (Spring 2010), pp. 45-79.
Roger Newman taught Journalism, Law, and Society in the past. He is the author of “Hugo Black: A Biography” (1994; sec. edition, 1997), co-author of “Banned Films: Movies, Censors and the First Amendment” (1982) and editor-in-chief of “The Constitution and Its Amendments” (1999, 4 volumes), as well as editor of the “Yale Biographical Dictionary of American Law” (2009). He has taught at Columbia University, New York University and Hofstra Law School, and was Research Scholar at NYU Law School from 1985 to 2001.
