Interested in plaintiff’s work? Network with some of Akron’s best plaintiff’s lawyers

To University of Akron Students with an interest in Plaintiff’s work,

 Last summer, I met with several Akronlaw students to discuss how our Summit County Association for Justice could better serve students and new lawyers.  One of the ideas that came out of that meeting was to make some of our monthly meetings open to students.  We are inviting any students potentially interested in Plaintiff’s work to attend our monthly meeting on October 10, 2012, at the Akron Bar Association, at 12 noon.  Free pizza will be provided.  This is a great networking opportunity and chance to meet some of Akron’s best plaintiff’s lawyers.  Akron Law alum, Rami Awadallah, will give a one hour CLE on utilizing social media in the practice of law. The meeting will conclude shortly after 1:00 p.m. 

 There is no charge to attend.  I just need to know how many students to expect.  Please RSVP to this email at my email address below if you plan to join us so that we can plan accordingly.

President, Summit County Association for Justice
