Boston College Law Review<\/em>, was selected as one of the ten best articles in land use and environmental law in 2008.<\/span><\/p>\nWhere We Meet<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nThe Friday Public Affairs Lunch convenes each Friday when classes are in session, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. We usually meet in the Dampeer Room of Kelvin Smith Library. The Dampeer Room is on the second floor of the library. If you get off the elevators, turn right, pass the first bank of tables, and turn right again. Occasionally we need to use a different room; that will always be announced in the weekly e-mails.<\/span><\/p>\nParking Possibilities<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nThe most convenient parking is the lot underneath Severance Hall. We regret that it is not free. From that lot there is an elevator up to street level (labeled as for the Thwing Center); it is less than 50 yards from that exit to the library entrance. You can get from the Severance garage to the library without going outside. Near the entry gates – just to the right if you were driving out – there is a door into a corridor. Walk down the corridor and there will be another door. Beyond that door you’ll find the entrance to an elevator which goes up to an entrance right inside the doors to Kelvin Smith Library.<\/span><\/p>\nFriday Lunch Upcoming Topics and Speakers:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nFebruary 7: America\u2019s Future in Space.\u00a0<\/strong>With Michael L.
