We\u2019ve made short videos about a couple of the fun + educational things we do at the Sustainable Economies Law Center.<\/p>\n<p>One of those is our monthly <strong>Research Explosion Day<\/strong> (RED), when SELC staff and volunteers divvy up a list of bite-size research questions on a common topic. It\u2019s more fun than it sounds, so I tried to sum it up in a four-minute video from our recent Securities Law RED:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"It&#039;s a Research Explosion Day!\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VtGKjA8MY7Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Also, our three-times-per-month <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theselc.org\/cafe\">Resilient Communities Legal Cafe<\/a><\/strong> provides a rich learning environment for apprentices and seasoned attorneys, alike. At each Legal Cafe, we advise between three and six clients on a range of transactional legal issues. Here\u2019s a 48 second\u00a0video explaining what happens at Legal Cafes:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Happens at the Resilient Communities Legal Cafe?\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zMnVPKTkenc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Aside from REDs and Legal Cafes, we have our<strong> twice-per-week discussion on bar exam topics<\/strong>, which I am surprised to find rather enjoyable. We have done improv acting of contracts transactions, read about and discussed cases, outlined and discussed essay question on a white board, and generally had some stimulating conversation on what I otherwise expected to be boring bar topics.<\/p>\n<p>At various times, we\u2019ve also had <strong>Bylaws Parties<\/strong>\u00a0where a group of us works on different sections of\u00a0 Bylaws at the same time, and <strong>Writing and Editing Explosion Day<\/strong> (because it made us giggle to call it \u201cWEED\u201d) to work together for a day on a list of food policy recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>Something tells me that if I didn\u2019t have apprentices, we wouldn\u2019t be as apt to turn everything into a learning party.
