We invite all Akron Law students to compete in the 2017 ABA Client Counseling Competition, which will be on Saturday, January 14, 2017. Teams of two conduct an initial interview with a fictional client and address the client’s legal (and non-legal) needs. The teams must, among other things, build a relationship with the client, determine the client’s goals, and consider options available to the client.
This competition is open to all Akron Law students (including 1Ls). Find a partner and sign up today!
Teams can sign up at the front desk of the administrative suite in the law building or online here: 2017 Client Counseling Sign-Up (URL is https://akron.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_6nAFbUbmUbDlJm5).
There will also be an information session with President Wilson on Tuesday, November 22nd at 5:15 in Law 140. Come learn more about the competition from President Wilson and learn about the invaluable skills and fantastic time that this competition offers–not to mention the possibility of having President Wilson coach your team.
Winners of the local competition on January 14 will advance to the ABA Regional Competition in February. If you are interested in competing but do not have a partner, please contact Dean Fuller.
