School Amount: $100,000 No one who follows education can fail to have noticed that the charter school movement is shaking up the assumptions of parents and school districts. Some of the most exciting charter schools are those which offer kids wh they are currently trapped. But what about those children for whom school is not the only failing institution? Coming from a broken family is tough, but what about those kids whose families are "broken" beyond any recognition as a "family"? The problems of children swirling in the vortex of familial freefall don’t start and end with the classroom bell. One problem at a time, you say? That’s not the way the founders of the S.E.E.D. School see it. The S.E.E.D. School (that’s "Schools for Educational Evolution and Development") in Washington, D.C., is the first charter school conceived as a boarding school—and as a pilot for a hoped-for national trend. Rajiv "Raj" Vinnakota, a 29-year old Princeton graduate who in 1997 quit his day job as a management consultant to co-found S.E.E.D. along with colleague Eric Adler, explains that for many children from the most "difficult circumstances," a boarding school environment is precisely what they need. Why spend all your time worrying about (and attempting to remediate) the problems besetting these kids when they aren’t at school when you can create a secure and stable 24-hour-a-day learning environment.

TUESDAY, JULY 26, 2005 FROM THE JULY 22, 2005 ABA JOURNAL eReport JUDGING ROBERTS BY MOLLY McDONOUGH Divisive. Arch conservative. Well-liked. Rock star. These are all descriptions that could be used to characterize John Glover Roberts Jr., who on July 19 was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court. Since Roberts has been on the bench for only 20 months, examining his jurisprudence may not be illuminating. Yet the ABA and plenty of interest groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Lambda Legal, will give it their best shot. This was done on a smaller scale when Roberts was nominated to the appellate court and ultimately rated "well-qualified" by the ABA. Each member of the standing committee will once again be asked to rate the nominee as either "well-qualified," "qualified" or "not qualified." Roberts has his special-interest detractors, but to many he is known as a "lawyer’s lawyer" who built a reputation as a top-tier appellate advocate before taking a seat on the federal appellate court in Washington, D.C.
