Furniture in Law Basement

Please note that all furniture (with the exception of the wooden tables and chairs that are in place as study tables) is surplus Law School property. This furniture is either being held for future Law School use, or is awaiting pickup by University Special Services to be delivered to Surplus Property. Students are not to use furniture (other than above noted wooden tables and chairs) for any reason, without first contacting Anthony Colucci in the Law Dean’s Office. Often, furniture is damaged, and is being disposed of for a reason. Please use only the tables and chairs that are available for your use.

Fall 2011 Class Schedule – Ignore It Until We Say Otherwise

To the Law School Student Body:

On Monday March 14, the university will make the fall schedule available for review  by students, although students will not be able to begin registering until March 25. We understood that the release date would be March 21, a week later, but the university needs to release the schedule for New Student Orientation Week, and it cannot withhold our part of the schedule.

For various reasons related to the university’s new campus-wide class scheduling system, the law school’s ultimate schedule is certain to differ from the schedule that will appear on Monday. We will advise you when the schedule has been finalized.

Accordingly, you should ignore the law school fall class schedule as posted by the university until we tell you otherwise.

Thanks, and have a great Spring Break!
