Gore Headlines Liberal Confab for Law Students, Attorneys

San Francisco law students and attorneys heard Al Gore speak recently at a kickoff event for a local chapter of the American Constitution Society, which was formed four years ago to counteract the Federalist Society and is now trying to build its membership.
