Did you return a book a little late? Forgot what time your laptop was due? Your chance to pay off those charges and help a good cause began Monday, March 16. University Libraries and the Law Library will sponsor their semiannual Food for Fines drive for the Akron-Canton Food Bank.
You can bring in nonperishable food items to pay for your fines. One food item equals one dollar toward your fines, and there is no limit on the number of items you may bring in. This offer cannot be used to pay for billed or lost items.
Through April 5, you may drop off the food donations at the Circulation desk in the Law Library.

ATTN: 1Ls and Other Students in LARW II – Moot Court Interest
Moot Court Honor Society is looking to hold a 1L oral argument competition on April 17th. This competition is for Akron Law students who have not yet completed LARW II. Participants will receive a record and be asked to prepare a 10 minute oral argument for both the Petitioner and the Respondent. Participants are not required to do outside research.
At this time, MCHS would like to know if there are any 1Ls interested in participating in this competition. Please email Monica Dobson (MLL71@ZIPS.UAKRON.EDU) if you are interested or if you would like further information. The competition is not set in stone at this time and depends upon student interest. This is a great experience to practice your oral advocacy skills and prepare for Moot Court tryouts in the fall.
Student Bar Association elections start TODAY!
Please use this link –> https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Y776ZDW to access the ballot. It will direct you to a Survey Monkey page where you can make your selections for Class Senator, Treasurer, Secretary, Vice President, and President.
The Student Bar is the the umbrella organization for all student activities here at Akron Law. Your choices will have a large impact on programming and networking events for the upcoming school year. Please take some time to carefully consider your responses and reach out to the nominated students for more information on what they plan to do to foster student life here at Akron Law.
The ballot will remain open until Tuesday Mar. 24. Results will be announced via the Announcements Blog on Monday Mar. 30.”

Moot Court Honor Society will be hosting an oral argument training session Thursday, March 19, 2015 from 5:30pm – 6:30pm in Room W-210. Professor Cohen will be presenting on the components of an oral argument. Although this training is required for MCHS members, it is open to everyone.
