Boalt Centers + Students = Mutually Beneficial Relationship

As some of you might know, Boalt currently has several "Centers":

• Berkeley Center for Criminal Justice
• Berkeley Center on Health, Economic & Family Security
• Berkeley Center for Law, Business and the Economy
• Berkeley Center for Law & Technology
• Center for Law, Energy & the Environment
• Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice
• Chief Justice Earl Warren Institute on Race, Ethnicity and Diversity 
• The Center for the Study of Law and Society
• The Institute for Legal Research
• Kadish Center for Morality, Law & Public Affairs
• Robert D. Burch Center for Tax Policy & Public Finance
• The Honorable G. William and Ariadna Miller Institute for Global Challenges and the Law

 Six of these centers have been formed within the last 5 years.  They bring prestige to Boalt by being at the forefront of tackling real-world problems and by producing superior research.  However, student contribution and interaction with the centers is relatively limited (more so with some centers than others).  BHSA wants to remove the disconnect between students and the centers; we will be working on possible opportunities for students to become more involved and to encourage the centers to capitalize on all that Boalties have to offer.

If you have suggestions on what you want to see/what you like now/ what sucks now....feel free to share.
