For those taking the July 2021 Bar Exam, we will provide further information as to how we will make your Law School Character Certificate available to you; however, we will send your Final Law School Certificate, including the Substance Abuse Certification (if we have a record showing that you’ve fulfilled that requirement), directly to the Bar Admissions Office after your degree is conferred in May 2021.

The IPTLA, the Health Law Society, and the Federalist Society are co-hosting Professor Adam Mossoff, of George Mason University, and Dr. George Horvath, of Akron Law, on: Pandemics and Patents: Do Patents Help or Hinder Medical Innovation? Professor Mossoff and Dr. Horvath will discuss this topic in detail and Professor Hrdy, of Akron Law, will moderate with commentary. The discussion should be extraordinarily interesting and timely, given that disputes over patents on COVID vaccines are sure to arise soon. Please join us at the following WebEx to watch:
