MCBA YLS Trivia Night

Town of Greece v. Galloway

The Genesee Valley Chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union, the Rochester Lawyers Chapter of the Federalist Society, and the Monroe County Bar Association will present a discussion on Town of Greece v. Galloway, the legislative prayer case that's scheduled to be heard by the Supreme Court on November 6. Speaking at the event will be representatives of the American Civil Liberties Union, which has filed an amicus brief in support of the respondents, two residents who sued the town over the predominantly Christian prayers said before its public meetings, and the Alliance Defending Freedom, which is representing the town.

The event takes place Tuesday, October 29 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at Nixon Peabody LLP, 1300 Clinton Square, and is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

One night only

On Tuesday, October 8th, the Little will present a special one-time screening of the documentary Terms and Conditions May Apply, a timely examination of the online user contracts few people have actually ever read before clicking the "Agree" button. If you'd like to know more about it, visit the movie's witty and engaging website.

The show starts at 7:00. Afterwards there'll be a Q & A session with the director via Skype.
