E-mail from Teacher (2/11/04):
"Dear Mr. Savell,
Thanks for your presentation today.
I got great feedback from the kids about the way you related your points
to things they were interested in or things they knew about. [Name
redacted], the one who has heard law school is really boring but who
would make law school fun if she were there, said she was expecting
somebody 'mad, old and, like, uptight,' and she was really glad you
weren't like that.
I was happy that you talked a little about some of the reasons we need
laws. I was also frankly amazed that you got them to talk about the
different roles of the three branches of government. We've been talking
about that in Social Studies, but we've had a hard time making it
concrete.
Again, thanks very much. We all enjoyed your time very much today."

E-mail from school liaison (5/13/04):
"Larry -- A big thank you for scheduling your first appointment
yesterday in East Williamsburg. Our spirited students -- often still a
little sleepy at 2nd period -- appreciated your thoughtful presentation.
"The transition from the corporate world to career programming for
inner-city adolescents, has been a joyous and meaningful challenge for
me. Providing opportunities to meet successful professionals, who took
school seriously, makes the world of work more real and, hopefully,
strengthens the connection between education and future success for our
students.
"Also, if you might be interested in involving the school with your
other volunteer commitments, please let's explore these possibilities.
"Thanks again."

13. May 5, 2005: H.S. 450, Long Island City High School, re Law Day
(14-30 Broadway, Long Island City, Queens) (City Bar Association's Council on
Judicial Administration)
Background (from May 2005 44th Street Notes, at 2): "In
celebration of Law Day 2005, the Association’s Council on Judicial
Administration will hold its annual outreach program for middle and high
schools throughout the city on May 4 and 5, 2005. Under the program
volunteer attorneys visit City public schools and speak to students in one
or more classes on this year’s Law Day theme, 'The American Jury - We the
People in Action,' or another law-related topic selected by the volunteer or
the school. According to New York State Supreme Court Justice Richard Lee
Price, chair of the Council’s Law Day program subcommittee, 'Our City’s
schools are very excited about the program. We need as many volunteers as
possible, so we can bring a Law Day message to all the schools requesting
our help.' It is estimated that at least 100 volunteers will be needed to
meet the schools’ requests for speakers. The time commitment for a volunteer
is very limited and the personal rewards substantial. For most of the
students involved, this will be their first in-person experience with an
attorney, and they are very appreciative of it."
14. May 24, 2005: Law Day 2005 at the School for Legal Studies, a
public high school in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn (850 Grand Street) (City Bar
Fund)
Background: "Originally founded by the American Bar Association in 1958,
Law Day is a celebration that occurs in April and May at schools across the
United States with programming focusing on our heritage of liberty under the
law and how the rule of law makes our democracy possible. The School for
Legal Studies will celebrate Law Day on Tuesday, May 24, 2005. The School
has invited practicing attorneys, law enforcement personnel and other
law-related professionals to speak to students about their work and to
provide advice and guidance to students interested in pursuing legal
careers. These classroom presentations give students a special opportunity
to meet lawyers and other legal professionals and ask them questions about
the justice system, the law and their careers. It is also a chance for the
students to have a positive interaction with someone representing the legal
community."
Message from City Bar Fund (April 5, 2005): "Thank you for volunteering
for Law Day 2005 at the School for Legal Studies."

want to thank you once again for your time and excellent talk you gave to
the students of Bryant on Friday. I will certainly relay those comments you
mentioned in your e-mail. We encourage the students to pursue their
interests, certainly those in law. For many, the idea may very well be 'out
of reach,' yet your talk certainly opened their minds and gave them new
insight into pursuing a career in law. Thanks again, and we certainly hope
to continue a partnership. Thanks Again."
