Whols On First: Joe Ribakoff! byAttGottlieb

Joe RIbakoff, oneofOLLrs new instmctors, will beteachingTHE FIRSTAMEND-MENTOFTHE US CONSTITUTION, acourse that explores the FirstAmendment inanovel way. By showingacaseby caseapproachJoe shows how the wording ofthat amendmentis intendedto be a limit on democracy. To quotehim,..the First Amendment....bars the will ofthe people from ove"/helming the fundamen-tal right ofan individual to the free exercise ofreligion and freedom ofspeech."

This is no dry law school approach tO COnSti-tutional rights. Rather, Joe plans to create someexcitement in his presentation. He will start bydiscussing a couple ofcases that legal scholarsconsiderto be absolutetravesties committed bythe Supreme Court: the Dred Scott decision ofl857 and the Citizens United case ofJanunry

Joe Ribakoff`

2010. In Dred Scott, the court stmck do\^m a law that would have allowed a man boma slave to become free, because according to that law he was considered to be propertyand, therefore, had nu rights under the c.onsLitulion. But our present business-orientedcourt, in a decision equally as divisive as the Dred Scott case, dete-ined that propertyin the fo- of a corporation is a person and therefore has the constitutional right offree speech.

\what is it about Joe RIbakoffthat warrants an hour and a halfofleaning time? He

practiced law fortwenty years primarily handling pension, and health and welfarecases.He clerked for Stanley Fleishman, who was one ofthis nation's top First Amendmentattomeys. Joe has a Juris Doctor from \hthittier College School ofLaw.

Ifcontroversy and the unpopulardon,t frighten you, ifyou wantto exploreAmerica'sunique libertyjurisprudence regarding speech and religion, thenjoin him in his discus-sions ofthe Peter Zenger trial, hate speech, prior restraint and the Pentagon Papers,the pledge ofallegiance controversy? the UC Irvine Four, and national security versusfree speech. i) see class description on page 23

We hate many calendars at OLLI. Year 2012 got offL'=

Let us use all these lle\\,-yearopportuIlitieS tO give Olle another Sincere Wishes for COn-tinuing good health, peace. and intellectual stimulatiol1.

We are especially thankful for the generous supportfrom our lllemberShiP and local COmmunity for OLLrscontinuing mission ofproviding educational. social, and

personal renewal opportunities. Our members alld bene-factors responded admirably to last year's anonymousmatching challellge grant by raiSillg OVer $22,000 lou,ard-assuring OLLI's financial viability. Their generosityallo\\.ed us to receive the full amount ofour anonymousdonor,s Sl 0,000 matching cllallenge.

This amount,like our previous endowment. has been placed intoillVeStmentS that We hope Will Provide a future Strealllof incollle tO help Support OLLI progralllS.
