There is still time to reserve a spot at this year’s Public Interest Auction! The event will feature both a live and silent auction including over 60 items including Cavs and Indians tickets, golf outings, review sessions with professors, and delicious home-cooked meals made by your professors!

Every penny of the Auction proceeds is used to fund the Public Interest Stipend which benefits students who serve in non-profit and governmental positions during the summer. Each student who wishes to receive distributions from the fund MUST attend the Auction (though don’t worry, you don’t need to win anything to qualify!)

The Auction is being held on the 5th Floor of the InfoCision Stadium Press Tower THIS SATURDAY (March 7) at 6pm. Lights hors d’oeurves, desserts, and a cash bar will be provided. Pre-sale tickets are available through Friday in the student lounge and will be available at the door on the day of the event. Cash, credit, and check are accepted.

We hope to see you there!

The event will be this Thursday, March 5, 2015, at 5:15 p.m. in Room 151. The debate is titled:
The Patent System is Broken:
How to Fix (or work around) It

with speakers Professor Thomas Folsom of Regent University School of Law
and Professor Patrick Gaughan of the University of Akron School of Law.

Additionally, while supplies last, food from The Spaghetti Warehouse Restaurant will be provided

Dear Colleagues,

This weekend, six students represented the University of Akron School of Law at the ABA National Appellate Advocacy Competition regional in Boston Massachusetts. Justin Burns, Kait Crowder, Andrew Ledebur, Lyndsey Lee, Christopher Rice and Chris Uzunyan each performed well in the preliminary rounds. The Burns/Lee/Rice team advanced from the preliminary rounds and competed in several challenging post-preliminary rounds. I am delighted to tell you that they were one of the four winning teams in the regional competition, and will now advance to the National competition in Chicago, Illinois in April.

Please join me in congratulating the team members and their coaches, Professor Joann Sahl and Attorney Paul Zindle. We thank them for all their hard work to date and wish Justin, Lyndsey and Chris every success as they compete in the nationals!

Moot Court Honor Society will be hosting an oral argument training session Thursday, February 19, 2015 from 5:30pm – 6:30pm in Room W-210. Professor Cohen will be presenting on the components of an oral argument. Although this training is required for MCHS members, it is open to everyone. This may be beneficial for 1Ls, as oral arguments approach in your LARW II courses! Please email Monica (MLL71@zips.uakron.edu) if you have any questions.
