citizens left behind in war-torn Iraq. In researching these women's
lives, Fears conducted survey interviews with reporters and

ASU to field Moot Court Team

Science has announced plans to establish a moot court team as part
of its pre-law program.
All
undergraduate students interested in participating are invited to
attend a meeting on Friday, Sept. 7, 7 p.m., in the Osage Room of
the Student Center. Undergraduate Moot Court is a competitive
program in which students argue fictitious cases under the rules of
appellate advocacy used by the U.S. Supreme
Court.
Moot court combines skills that our students require for success in
law, academics, business, or for competence in research,
writing, and public speaking. For details, contact
Dr. Hans Hacker or
Dr. Richard Wang, chair,
Department of Political Science.
