The Student Bar Association (SBA) at Rutgers Law School’s Camden location hopes to raise awareness of a harmful and often ignored issue: substance abuse and addiction among law students and lawyers.

As alternatives to going out and drinking alcohol on the weekend, the student government group is offering social activities on Friday evenings as part of "Sober January" events.

Co-Dean Michael Cahill will host what’s expected to be a lively Oxford-style debate involving faculty and student teams on the proposition “Is there a Central Jersey?”

The event will be held in the faculty lounge at the Law School’s Camden location.
