This week the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the constitutionality of the landmark 2010 health care reform law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.  On March 26^th (Anti-Injunction Act), March 27^th (Individual Mandate), and March 28^th (Severability & Medicaid) the court heard arguments from attorneys on both sides.  You can listen or read the oral arguments yourself on the Supreme Court’s website.

Mother Rosalie Hill Hall Warren Auditorium

Next week in conjunction with Universidad Iberoamericana Tijuana, TBI will be presenting four films that address different issues relating to the U.S.-Mexican border.  Law students may especially be interested in Presunto Culpable (Presumed Guilty), a 2008 documentary made by two young Mexican attorneys who are attempting to exonerate a man who has been wrongly accused. Through the process, the directors, Roberto Hernández and Geoffrey Smith, expose the contradictions of a judicial system that presumes the accused as a guilty until proven innocent.

Showtime: Thursday, March 29, 2012, 5 p.m., Mother Rosalie Hill Hall Warren Auditorium
