Eighteenth Annual Midwestern People of Color Legal Scholarship Conference
The conference theme of the 2008 Midwest People of Color Scholarship Conference, "From Scholarship Pages to Political Stages: Law Writing for Political Change" is of particular relevance this year. The frontrunner for the Democratic Party's nomination for the U. S. presidency is a former law professor of color from the Midwest, Barack Obama. Hamline University School of Law, this year's honored host of the Midwest People of Color Scholarship Conference, is located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, the site of the 2008 Republican National Convention.
Each year, the MWPOC showcases and reviews works-in-progress; facilitates the development of collaborative professional relationships; and promotes the discussion of raging political and social issues of particular concern and the germination of scholarly ideas.
