Brooklyn Legal Services Corp. (1987-1988), and associate director of the Career
Counseling and Placement Office at the New York University School of Law
(1989-1991).
Papers collected during her studies at the State University of New

(1980-1983), and a candidate for Ph.D. (1995) in American Studies as well as

The papers reflect Tobol's academic and extracurricular pursuits at
the University at Buffalo including extensive involvement in the UB Anti Rape
Task Force, National Lawyers Guild (National and Buffalo chapter) and Women's
Studies Program.
The Anti Rape Task Force papers mark the beginnings of the
organization from general awareness of rape on campus and the need for such a
group to the implementation of UB's ARTF (1975) by Tobol.
The National Lawyers Guild papers reflect Tobol's varied positions
within the Guild as National Vice President (1992-1994), Vice President NYC
Chapter (1988-1991) and Board Member (1984-1986). Tobol's participation in the
Twelfth World Festival of Youth and Students, Moscow (1985) is heavily
documented by pamphlets, newspapers and news clippings. National Executive
Committee minutes; conventions in NYC, Chicago and St. Louis; AIDS task force;
VISA denial project, Haitian refugee project, Summer projects (legal
internships) and general Guild news are included in the National Lawyers Guild
papers.
Women's Studies College papers include syllabi and course readings
(1974, 1978-1979).
In addition, involvement in other facets of the University at Buffalo
are represented. Tolstoy College (circa 1978-1982), UB Law Alumni Association
(1991), Department of American Studies (1990), Group Legal Services
(1977-1978), Sunshine House (1974-1975) and Tobol's student career (1974-1983)
are included.
Tobol's involvement in non Buffalo organizations such as Brooklyn
Legal Services (1986-1988), American Indian Law Alliance (1986-1991), New York
County Lawyer's Association (1990-1991) and Center for Immigrants Rights, Inc.
(1985-1988) are represented. Other areas of coverage include a collection of
rape issues and general information on the subject of rape ; studies of sex
tourism/ prostitution in Philippines, Korea and Thailand; migrant worker issues
and military counseling during the Gulf War (1991).
