Lecturer Jon Lines and Assistant Professor Peter Yacobucci of the Political Science Department invite all members of the campus community to the third of this semester's law luncheons on Tuesday, November 19, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in Cleveland Hall 205, with our invited speaker, Judge E. Jeannette Ogden.

Ogden was appointed to the Buffalo City Court in June 1995 and was elected to the position in 1995 and 2005. In January 2001, she was appointed acting county court judge. The appointment was expanded to acting family court judge in January 2003. Ogden currently serves on all three courts and has presided over thousands of criminal and civil cases. Prior to her judicial appointment, she worked as a trial lawyer for CIGNA Insurance Companies defending corporations, school districts, hospitals, and municipalities while operating her own private general law practice. Ogden is also a former prosecutor with the Erie County District Attorney's Office and a former assistant Erie County attorney. She is a graduate of the Buffalo Public Schools and SUNY Buffalo State, where she earned a degree in criminal justice and periodically returns to teach. She received her juris doctor degree from the University at Buffalo Law School, where she now instructs courses in trial technique and mental health issues in criminal law. Ogden has worked as an adjunct instructor with the University at Buffalo Law School for 16 years.

Please take this opportunity to interact with an esteemed member of the local legal community on an informal basis to ask questions on a wide variety of topics. Lunch will be provided through the fifth annual SUNY Explorations in Diversity and Academic Excellence Initiative.
