Law Schools have CR groups?
By punch bowl | May 1, 2008
Katie Wilcox was elected Ave Maria Law School CR Chair today. Congratulations to Ms. Wilcox, but I was unaware that law schools had College Republican groups….
The more the merrier I suppose…
I am told that Ms. Wilcox “has a distinguished background as founder and board member of Students for Life of Michigan and was the Students for Brownback Chair of Michigan.”
Ms. Wilcox is also being published by the Ave Maria Law Review this year. Her note is titled: Why the Equal Protection Clause Cannot “Fix” Abortion Law
Her note is a response to a rising trend among liberal feminists, including Justice Ginsburg, to argue that the Equal Protection Clause should be used to strike down statutes restricting abortion because such statutes constitute gender discrimination.
She writes that this argument should not succeed in the courts, because, like the Court’s reasoning in Roe, it is inconsistent with longstanding precedent and would denigrate women’s status in society, as abortion is harmful to women physically and psychologically.

Actually Punchy, to my knowledge the majority of Law schools have CR groups. The CRNC would be highly benefited if it reached out to them a bit more as would state federations. But then again, most of these students aren’t dumb enough to play into the CR Politics that plagues most state feds.

CRNC Secretary Dan Carlson was the Chairman of the Ave CRs at least one year

No offense, but nobody with a “distinguished background” would attend Ave Maria for law school. That place is on the same level as Cooley - and by that I mean you go there because you can’t get in anywhere else.

So, where do you go to school Tim?

I don’t have to be a law student yet to know that Ave Maria blows. I remember hearing somewhere that it was having accreditation issues with the ABA. In fact, US News doesn’t even rank it this year.
If you’re going to pay a lot of money for law school, you might as well go to a school that has a good reputation.

University of Maryland Law School has a Republican club affiliated with the MFCR. The only other law school in Maryland, at the University of Baltimore, doesn’t have it’s own CR chapter, but the UB chapter encompasses undergrad and graduate school members. The Executive Vice Chair for Maryland CRs this year was a law student at UB.

She used to be chair at MSU. She’s a nut-job who keeps hanging out w/ the kiddies.
