Join the Federalist Society for the final event of Scalia Week today in room 180 from 12:15-1:15 as we discuss the life and legacy of Antonin Scalia with his former law clerk and close friend, Ed Whelan, and Akron Law’s own Dean Oldfield. Ed Whelan is the coauthor/co-editor of the recently released book “Scalia Speaks: Reflections on Law, Faith, & Life Well-Lived,” and is the President of the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C.. The event is open to the public. Free Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers will be provided to all who attend!

Our next free Certificate of Qualification for Employment (CQE) clinic is Saturday, April 14, 2018!  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 8:15am-12:45pm on Saturday, April 14, 2018. The clinic will be held at Ohio Means Job Center [1040 E. Tallmadge Ave., Akron, OH 44310]. 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 Friday, April 13 from 4:30-6:00pm for first timers. Location of the training will be announced the week of the clinic. 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 Brittany at bfw7@zips.uakron.edu. You can also learn more about the clinic at our website: http://www.uakron.edu/law/clinical/cqe-clinic.dot.
