It’s that time of year again! Become a part of the nationally-ranked Akron Law Moot Court Honor Society! This year, we proudly sent teams to four different competitions in Boston, Massachusetts, Newark, New Jersey, Brooklyn, New York, and Cincinnati, Ohio.  Our ABA team, at the Regional Competition of the National Appellate Advocacy Competition, won 5 out of 5 rounds, and will soon be going to the National Competition in Chicago, Illinois.  At the Rendigs Product Liability Competition in Cincinnati, one of our teams made it all the way to the quarter-final round. 

We want to grow our team and come back even stronger next year! Join us for the 2019-2020 season!  Try-outs will take place on Saturday, April 13th in room 180.

All you need to do is prepare a 7-8 minute oral argument on the side of your choice from the provided problem!

Please email Chloe DeAngelis to get the problem and include your preferred morning tryout time slot.  Time slots will be filled on a first come, first served basis.  Also, please provide her with the argument section of your LARW II brief as well. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us.  If you’re interested in trying out, but are not available that day, talk to us!

Barbri Scholarship Deadline

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 Macaulay
