Community comes to GSC

Wednesday, May 5, 2010 by John Cook
This term at our Portsmouth NH College, we are offering a course entitled "Law and Society."  This is one of our evening college classes, and for Granite State students, often adults, there is a great deal of relevance with this subject matter.  Consider for a moment the impact of legislation and laws on all of our lives.      

We have the great fortune to have Stacey Bellabona, Esq. teaching this course for us.  Stacey draws from a wide variety of experiences as a practicing attorney and former NH Supreme Court clerk.  She offers students a practical, hands-on, and applied perspective on Law and Society. . .and to that point, she recently had a guest from her law firm visit class.  I can only imagine the wonderful and enlightened conversation that occured this week with William "Bill" Shaheen, Esq, a seacoast attorney with 35+ years of experience which includes serving as the City Attorney for Somersworth, US Attorney for the State of New Hampshire, and a NH District Court Judge.  

As the New Hampshire State College with a mission of access and service to communities, we live, work, teach and learn in our communities - so it is nice when community comes to our classrooms!
