CLINICS OFFER LAW STUDENTS A TASTE OF SUPREME COURT
By Tony Mauro for The Recorder / July 25
The allure of Supreme Court advocacy, Washington, D.C.-style, is spreading among top law schools. ... Mark Stancil, who is moving this week from Baker Botts to the smaller appellate shop of Robbins, Russell, Englert, Orseck & Untereiner, will be working on Supreme Court cases with 3Ls at University of Virginia School of Law. "I adore teaching, and this is my best opportunity to build up more experience at the Supreme Court," says Stancil, who lives in Charlottesville, Va., but works in D.C. ... Stancil estimates he'll devote more than 400 hours per year to teaching and supervising the University of Virginia clinic.

WITH GOOD REASON / NPR

ENDANGERED LANGUAGES (July 22-28)
Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. WVTF-Roanoke (88.5 FM)
On average one language disappears every two weeks on this planet and by
the end of the century, half of the world’s languages will be gone.
Linguist Jack Martin (WM) discusses why languages disappear and what can be done to preserve these languages, particularly the dialects of Native Americans. Also: historian Gilmer Blackburn (UVA-Wise) says the Scots-Irish who settled much of Virginia were neither Scottish nor Irish but
independent, contentious individuals whose contributions to society have
gone largely unnoticed.

"With Good Reason," produced by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, is broadcast on 10 public radio stations in Virginia and Washington, D.C. For complete listings of shows and times visit the program's website at www.withgoodreasonradio.org.
