The Fall 2012 Schedule is now posted on the School of Law website at:  https://www.uakron.edu/law/curriculum/registration.dot.  This information includes the Schedule Board to give you a visual layout of the schedule, the Schedule with course numbers and footnotes, highlights on what is being offered new this fall and course descriptions broken down by Professor and subject.  Please carefully read all materials.  You are able to go into Zipline and place classes into your registration “shopping cart” at this time.  We have not yet been informed on when registration will begin for Fall. 

Hope you are all enjoying your Spring Break!  See you next week.

We are currently working on the Fall 2012 schedule and elective course descriptions.  The plan is to have this information out to all of you before 5 p.m. tomorrow, Friday, March 9, 2012.  This will allow you to look over your course options and descriptions during your spring break. 

We have not yet received word from the University when registration will open other than the middle to end of March.  Once we have the priority registration dates and times we will post that information here for your reference.

Enjoy your Spring Break!

In response to a number of emails we are receiving, please be advised that we have received many emails on LARW II preference for Summer 2012 and will begin the registration process for this course next week.    If you have not responded to the requested information, I am copying our original email of March 1st below:

In an effort to further clarify enrollment options for summer 2012 for CLL students, this email should be helpful as you register.

 FULL-TIME STUDENTS:   LARW II, 2 credits

 Unless there are extenuating circumstances and a student has received email authorization from Dean Jordan or Dean Thorpe, full-time CLL students who successfully completed Property I and II during the fall/spring of first year (D- or higher), must enroll in LARW II for summer 2012.

 If you have extenuating circumstances completely preventing your summer enrollment in LARW II and have not yet received authorization to defer this course until Spring 2013, please email your request directly to Dean Jordan at Jordan@uakron.edu.

 Full-time students may also enroll in an elective course during Summer I or Summer II provided they are NOT employed while taking the elective course along with LARW II.    

 Full-time students may work full-time while ONLY enrolled in LARW II.

 PART-TIME STUDENTS:   LARW II, 2 credits; Property I, 3 credits; Property II, 2 credits

 Unless there are extenuating circumstances and a student has received email authorization from Dean Jordan or Dean Thorpe, part-time CLL students must be enrolled in Property I, Property II, and LARW II in summer 2012.  (total 7 credits) 

 If you have extenuating circumstances preventing your summer enrollment in LARW II, Property I AND Property II and have not yet received authorization to defer enrollment, please email your request directly to Dean Jordan at Jordan@uakron.edu.

 Part-time students may not enroll in any other courses beyond Property I, Property II, and LARW II for summer 2012.  

 Students enrolled in Property I, Property II, and LARW II may NOT be employed during summer 2012.    Students who have no other choice than to be employed during summer 2012 would need to receive email authorization from Dean Jordan to:

 1.      Defer LARW II to spring 2013 (day or evening section)

 OR

 2.      Defer Property I and II to fall 2012/spring 2013 (only offered during day) or summer 2013 (only offered in evening).   Please email your request directly to Dean Jordan at Jordan@uakron.edu.

 ALL CLL STUDENTS ENROLLED IN SUMMER 2012 LARW II:

 As you know, there is a departmental consent on LARW II.   Please mail College Program Specialist Misty Franklin at misty@uakron.edu with the following:

 1.      Your name and student i.d. number;

2.      Who your professor was for LARW I

3.      Whether you are a full-time or part-time student

4.      Will you be working in the summer

5.      The LARW II sections numbered in preference order.

ATTENTION May 2012 GRADUATES
Are you taking the July Ohio Bar Exam?*
If yes, then here is your opportunity to begin to prepare.

Akron Law is offering a free workshop called ESSENTIAL LEGAL CONCEPTS (ELC) to help prepare you for the upcoming February bar exam. The workshop is available to students not currently taking Advanced Legal Applications. The workshop will focus on your understanding of the bar exam and provide you with essential skills needed to effectively study for the Ohio Bar exam.  Akron Law strongly encourages your enrollment in this workshop, although it is not designed to replace any bar exam preparation course you are taking, but rather to be a supplement.

The workshop will be held Saturdays, , March 3, & 31, and April 7 & 14 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Law School (Rm: TBD)

Enrollment is on a first come, first serve basis and open to the first 25 current students to enroll.  Any past students wishing to take the workshop are also welcome to enroll, but their request to enroll will be placed on a waiting list and considered only after current student enrollment has occurred.  *If you are a current student and not taking the Ohio bar, the course may not be catered to your specific bar exam, but you are still welcome to participate.
ENROLLMENT:
To enroll, please contact Misty Franklin at misty@uakron.edu no later than Wednesday, February 29, 2012.  Please provide Misty with your name, which state’s bar exam you are taking and when, and whether you are a current student.  Please indicate that you wish to enroll in the Spring ELC course taught by Prof. Walsh.

 

If you contact Misty seeking to enroll, we will advise you no later than Friday, March 2, as to whether we can accommodate you in the workshop.

 

QUESTIONS?

If you have any questions regarding the workshop in general, please contact Adjunct Professor Michael Walsh, walsh@uakron.edu.
