Dr. Beito's mic went out during his presentation. Luckily, a backup mic picked up the rest of his speech. For this reason, you will probably need to turn up the volume on your player after about 2.30 minutes into the program. Beito's presentation lasts approximately 1 Hr.] Date: January 14, 2003 Speakers: Prof. Jack Nowlin and Prof. Paul Secunda of the University of Mississippi School of Law.
