Our next free Certificate of Qualification for Employment (CQE) clinic is Saturday,April 20, 2019! We’re very excited to be providing opportunities for ex-offenders in Summit County to take a step toward gaining employment and independence!
We are looking for students to volunteer from approximately 8-12pm on Saturday, April 20, 2019. The clinic will be held at the House of the Lord, 1650 Diagonal Rd., Akron, OH 44320. The time you volunteer can be applied toward your graduation requirement as pro bono limited means hours.
There will be a mandatory volunteer training on Thursday, March 18, from 5:00pm-6:30pm for first timers. Location of the training will be announced next week. The time you are at training will count towards your pro bono limited means hours as well. For those who have completed the training once before, you are more than welcome to attend the training for a refresher. However, you may not count the training towards your pro bono limited means hours again.
If you’re interested in volunteering or have any questions, please e-mail Janelle at jmw376@zips.uakron.edu. You can also learn more about the clinic at our website: http://www.uakron.edu/law/clinical/cqe-clinic.dot.

Dear Dean Peters:
I am writing to remind you of the deadline for the $10,000 scholarship opportunity sponsored by BARBRI Law Preview, April 15, 2019.
We believe that in the right hands, a law degree is a powerful tool to extinguish injustice and bring about positive social change. That is why we are seeking to help one deserving student who plans to enter law school in Fall 2019, by contributing $10,000 towards their first-year tuition with the One Lawyer Can Change the World Scholarship.
To qualify, a student must simply submit a 500-word essay that explains how they expect to use their law degree to make a positive impact on our world, and how $10k would make a positive impact on their world.
If you know a deserving student who would benefit from this scholarship opportunity, I would encourage you to have them being the application by clicking here.
Thank you for sharing this opportunity with your 2019 applicants.
Best,Don
