CSU Cleveland-Marshall College of Law Partnership

Dear Akron Law students,

We are very pleased to announce that The University of Akron School of Law and CSU Cleveland-Marshall College of Law have agreed to cross-register eight courses for the Fall 2020 semester. This cross-registration will afford our respective students the opportunity to enrich their academic experience by having the option to take a course offered by one of the law schools and not offered by the other. The two schools will use existing University cross-registration agreements to offer a limited number of courses at each school to all students.

There are four additional courses available to you this Fall through this new collaboration. The cross-registration courses are listed below:

AKRON LAW CSU CLEVELAND-MARSHALL
International Intellectual Property Advocacy Practicum (3 cr.) HIPAA & Privacy (3 cr.)
Juvenile Law (3 cr.) Healthcare Compliance I (3 cr.)
Second Amendment (2 cr.) White Collar Crime (3 cr.)
Trademark Clinic (2 cr.) Corporate Compliance (3 cr.)

All of these courses will be offered remotely this semester.

Students will register with their home institutions but will take the courses offered at the designated institution. Tuition and fees will be paid to the home institution. Any student enrolling in one of these courses at the school will not pay additional tuition or fees at the other school.

Any Akron Law student interested in taking one of the four courses listed above should complete the attached form and submit it to Dean Janoski-Haehlen at ejanoskihaehlen@uakron.edu, copying Director Misty Franklin at misty@uakron.edu, by August 21. Seats in these courses are limited, and students will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis.

At a time when innovative partnerships have never been more important, we see this as an opportunity to leverage the curricular strengths of both law schools and to expand curricular opportunities for our law students.

With all best wishes for the start of the fall semester,

CJP
