The Law Review Staff of the Phoenix School of Law wanted to find a way to publish a law journal, and recognize the Centennial Anniversary of the writing of Arizona’s Constitution at the same time.  The result was the printing of The Arizona Government Book, a compilation of articles written by prominent judges, attorneys and legal minds within and around Arizona Government, including the Chief Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court, Rebecca White Berch,  Nick Dranias of the Goldwater Institute, and more.  The theme of the book is “The Past, Present and Future of Arizona Government.”

“Because we’re a new law school, it was difficult to solicit articles for our law journal,” says Editor-In-Chief Anthony Tsontakis.  “But we persisted, and the results were submissions of extraordinary articles from Chief Justice Rebecca White Berch (Arizona Supreme Court) and many prominent government attorneys – some of whom argued cases before the Arizona Supreme Court.”

A Symposium / Reception to celebrate the publishing of The Arizona Government Book will be held on Tuesday, April 27th from 5:00 PM-7:00 PM at the Phoenix School of Law, Room D-110.  Speakers include Vice Chief Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court Andrew Hurwitz and Arizona Senate President Robert Burns.  

Hors d'oeuvres will be served.  CLE credit may be earned for this event.   The event is free, but RSVP is required by registering at www.phoenixlaw.edu.
