Our next free Certificate of Qualification for Employment (CQE) clinic is Saturday, November 16! 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 9:15a-12:45p on Saturday, November 16. The clinic will be held at the law school. Volunteers will meet at 9:15a in the student lounge. The time you volunteer can be applied toward your graduation requirement as pro bono limited means hours.

There will be a volunteer training on Friday, November 15, 5-6:15p at the law school. The time you’re at training will count toward your pro bono limited means hours as well. We will not be training 1Ls at this time; however, there are opportunities available for untrained students to volunteer on the day of the clinic.

If you’re interested in volunteering or have any questions, please e-mail Lyndsey at LLL35@zips.uakron.edu. You can also learn more about the clinic at our website: http://www.uakron.edu/law/clinical/cqe-clinic.dot.

Moot Court is excited to announce its first training session of the year. This training session will focus on important aspects of writing a good brief. Like all Moot Court training sessions, all students are welcome to attend. New and existing members of Moot Court are required to attend. Those who tried out this year and have not heard anything back yet are also encouraged to attend. We will update all those who tried out with their status as soon as possible. 

 

The training will take place on Monday, October 14th from 5:15pm-6:15pm in W-210.
