Call for Submissions!

Images of Justice Art Show
The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law is calling for submissions of artwork dealing with the theme of Social Justice. For complete information and prospectus visit:http://law.cua.edu/News/socialjusticeartshow/

Sponsored by
Columbus School of Law
Department of Art and Campus Ministry


During the month of October 2007, The Catholic University of America’s Columbus School of Law, together with the CUA Department of Art and Campus Ministry, will sponsor the juried art exhibition entitled, Images of Justice, which will explore the theme of social justice through the vision of local artists in a broad spectrum of two- and three-dimensional media. The art displays will serve as a tangible expression of a theme well recognized by the law students and faculty who work with the law school’s clinical programs, serving the legal and, in many cases, fundamental needs of the indigent and underrepresented members of our local community.

Numerous events will be scheduled at the law school to coincide with the Images of Justice Art Show, including a national conference on The Role of Law Schools in Fostering Commitment to Pro Bono Publico, scheduled on October 5 and 6, 2007. For a calendar and detailed information of upcoming events, please visit http://law.cua.edu.
