It's what you need to know!
The first Con Law Discussion Forum of the year is Wednesday, Sept. 27th at 12:15 in the Commons. These monthly discussion forums on the last Wednesday of each month provide an opportunity for our law school community to discuss and debate a topic of current, front-page interest. This week’s topic is DACA, the deferred action law for child immigrants. The forums are open discussions in roundtable form, moderated by student and faculty fellows of the Center for Con Law. Pizza will be served.
Deadline extended to Wed. April 5th (after spring break):
Applications are now being accepted for the Con Law student fellowships. Fellows work with the director of the Center for Constitutional Law at Akron, Prof. Tracy Thomas, on research, programming, and public education. Projects include, but are not limited to, research for scholarly books and articles (both legal and historical archival work), leadership of student discussion forums, developing content for social media, and working with community partners. More information about the work of the Center generally is available on the website at https://www.uakron.edu/law/ccl/
Fellows are expected to devote five hours per week to the work of the Con Law Center for the entirety of the school year. Research work for the Center will be compensated, while the other work for the Center of public education and programming is volunteered as part of the fellowship experience. The Con Law Center will select three to five students to serve as fellows in the next academic year. Interested students should send a current resume and letter with an explanation of interest in the con law fellowship to Professor Tracy Thomas at thomast@uakron.edu by April 5, 2017.

Of related interest in the future, Professor Brant Lee will also be selecting Social Justice fellows to work with him under the umbrella of the Social Justice Project. This is a separate program and a separate application process from the con law fellowships, and interested applicants should contact Prof. Lee directly at btlee@uakron.edu. Students would not be able to do both the con law and the social justice fellowships due to the demands of each position.
The next Constitutional Law Forum will be held at Akron Law on Tuesday, Jan. 24 at 12:15 in Room 160
The topic will be “Is there a constitutional right to health care?” Professor Will Huhn and the Con Law fellows will moderate the discussion.
Pizza will be served (thanks to Prof. Huhn!)
