Greetings to all.  I just have a small request for information.

The Canadian law school I am attending is interested in starting an 
inaugural lecture series on race and culture this term.  This initiative 
is a product of the efforts of a student group here concerned about the 
positions of people of colour within the multi-faceted legal scene and 
the lack of critical insight into such issues at the school.

To start this series, the Dean responsible wishes to bring a fairly 
well-known legal scholar from one of the more "elite"/(elitist) law 
schools in North America or eslewhere and has asked the students involved 
to suggest names.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions of scholars people may know, 
or have read, or have heard of.  Again, the fundamental condition is that 
s/he be a legal scholar and preferably, at a well-known, well-reputed law 
school.  I f anyone has other names, however, I would love to forward them 
as well.  If anyone has comments as to this step the faculty is taking in 
terms of increasing the breadth of the school, please let me know too.

Thanks.

Maneesha
