Join us for our final Pizza and Policy in the Pit on Tuesday, April 23 at noon. Professor Michael Dimino will discuss the pending Supreme Court case of Shelby Co. v. Holder, which challenges
the constitutionality of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act on 1965. Section 5 requires that a num-ber of states or portions of states, mostly in the South, obtain Justice Department preclearance be-fore making any changes to their election laws. Congress renewed the Voting Rights Act for 25 years in 2006, but some Justices have been critical of it, including Justice Antonin Scalia who characterized the Voting Rights Act as the "perpetuation of racial entitlement" during oral ar-guments in February.
As always, there will be pizza and beverages.

FROM THE LIBRARY
Time is beginning to wind down on the semester, with 2:00 AM hours in the library to start at the end of the month. This must mean that finals are just around the corner and the library is here to help you prepare to succeed!
Many faculty members have placed old exams and sample answers on reserve for students to see. Stop at the Information Desk to see if your professor has done so. Also, a limited number of exams are available online at:
http://law.widener.edu/LawLibrary/Services/login.aspx
Call the Information Desk at 717-541-3933 for the Username and Password.
Remember also, that the library has an extensive collection of study aid materials to help a stu-dent understand and organize a particular topic of law. The current editions of these materials are found on the shelves next to the downstairs computer lab. There is a printed list of titles by topic in a binder on these shelves, or you can use the online catalog to find the appropriate call number. To generate a list of resources, running a key word search on “examples and explana-tions” will provide a list of all available titles in the popular Examples and Explanations series, with other related books shelved nearby.
The online catalog can be found at:
http://libcat.widener.edu/
The law library will shift to extended hours between Saturday, April 27 and Monday, May 13
when the library will be open 8:00 AM to 2:00 AM
As always, if you have questions call the Information Desk at 717-541-3933 or click on the “Ask a Librarian” widget found on the Law Library’s homepage at:
