3L Three-peat

Fridays around Regent are pretty quiet, especially with the chill of a Fall morning creeping into the afternoon as the days grow ever shorter with the coming of Winter.

But last Friday was a different story. Last Friday was the Chili Bowl, the culmination of our intramural flag football league. Since this was the 7th installment of the annual game it may not have seemed to be any different than over the past six years. However, this year's game served as a particularly proud one for the Regent Law family as it saw two law teams (3L "The Gong Show" vs. "2L TDs") playing for the title.

The Gong Show, however, had more at stake than this one championship title. Not only did they have the past two titles to defend, but three years of undefeated play. They were not about to let their underclassmen sully their perfect career. Still, the 5-1 2L TDs refused to be intimidated by their opponents' record and were determined to dethrone them.

Hundreds of students, staff, faculty, and family members turned out for the game and tailgate. And in true Regent Law fashion both teams fought hard and refused to give up. But at the end of the day The Gong Show emerged with their title in tact in an all too a propos shut-out (14-0).

This picture describes the 3Ls three-peat and final Chili Bowl better than you could attempt to put into words.

Soul Food

Every February, the Black Law Students Association (BLSA) hosts the Soul Food Cafe. Readings, dramatizations, music, and special presentations on the cultural heritage of black Americans create a unique night for the community.

But what Black History commemoration would be complete without collard greens, fried chicken, macaroni, and sweet potatoes? BLSA makes sure their guests don't leave hungry. Home-style "southern" fare is abundant.

BLSA sees the annual celebration as a way to unite the many cultures that make up Regent's great community.

On your mark, get set...

...go! Runners and walkers start the Walk Me Home 5K on Saturday. This event was the culmination of a week of events planned to raise awareness of the huge need for adoptive families for the 500,000 children in foster care throughout the nation.

Walk Me Home and other events during the week raised nearly $4,000 for the Up Center, a local agency that trains foster parents, cares for foster children, and excites people about adoption.

Thanks to Tracy Hasse, a 1L and Walk volunteer, for this great picture.

Bound for the Chili Bowl!

Friday, November 6, at noon, the 2L and 3L flag football teams go head-to-head for bragging rights to the Chili Bowl Championship.

It has been a good number of years since the Chili Bowl has hosted law team against law team. And this week's game is sure to be a battle as the 2L team, "We're Huge in Japan," defends the title against "Bro Montana," the 3L team.

Enjoy homemade chili with the entire Regent community at 11:30 a.m., along with children's activities, music, and other food and drink.

Serving the Community

Regent Law students, alumni, and faculty canvassed the Hampton Roads community last Friday with some good old fashioned hard work.

Those who joined in on the day cleaned everything from oysters to homeless shelters, weeded gardens, and cleaned up trash. Here, a group of student stocks the Union Mission's food pantry.

A Whole Lotta Love

Drawing back Cupid's bow, law students Lindsay Jonker and Leandra Rayford decorate Valentines in the law school atrium today.

Passers-by can fill the cards with love, and the Student Bar Association will deliver the messages to retirement homes around the community on Valentine's Day.

All Work and No Play?

Regent's Academic Board suites are busy places. Moot Court briefs, sparring rounds, or late night cite checks for law review keeps students' lives fast paced; but not always so serious. Here, the ADR board works late to tabultate competitors' scores at a recent competition.
