Saint Louis University School of Law, 100 North Tucker
4:00 p.m.
Free registration

Presented by Saint Louis University School of Law, Volunteer Lawyers & Accountants for the Arts (VLAA), and Opera Theatre

Join musician and activist Simon Tam, attorney Mark Sabelman of Thompson Coburn, and VLAA Board President Matt Minder of Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner for a conversation about the legal journey of Simon’s band, The Slants.  This Asian American dance rock band took a fight for the right to  trademark their band name all the way to the Supreme Court, sparking a  powerful story about free speech – a story that is now the focus of a  world premiere opera in St. Louis. Find more information on VLAA’s event page.

This event isn't sponsored by MAABA, but we couldn't be more delighted that Simon Tam is coming and that SLU LAW, VLAA and the Opera Theater are presenting this.

NAPABA represents the interests of 60,000 Asian American  attorneys, judges, and law students, will be convening our 2023 NAPABA  Convention in Indianapolis this November 2-5. As an organization with  civil rights roots, we look forward to the opportunity to partner and  learn from organizations like yours—making direct  impact and serving our AAPI and LGBTQ+ communities in the state of IN  and beyond. As we look towards our Convention, it is important that we  convene, connect, and listen to members of the Hoosier community so we  may harness the strength, skill, and passion  of the AAPI legal community to advance our collective goals before,  during, and after the NAPABA Convention. 

To that end, NAPABA has invited us to attend a meet and greet with your fellow community members and NAPABA leaders  at the JW Marriott on Sunday, Feb. 12. Please see the invitation below and RSVP here.
