Summer Alternative Dispute Resolution – No Waitlist

There will NOT be a waitlist held for Alternative Dispute Resolutions this summer.  If you are interested in the summer intersession ADR please continue to monitor MyAkron for openings, registration will continue on a first-come-first-served basis.  Also, keep in mind that we are offering ADR, in the same extensive format, the week before classes begin in August.  This intersession course is part of the Fall semester and needs to be considered when determining overloads and financial aid.

Fall 2013 ALA

The Fall ALA course is offered first to students graduating in December that are required to take the course. Spring graduates are given first preference for the spring offering of ALA.

 Once the December graduates register, College Program Specialist Misty Franklin will register students for the course on a first-come, first-served basis. If you would like to be placed on the waiting list for the Fall offering, please email Misty Franklin at misty@uakron.edu.

Update to Prof. Robbins’ ACJ Course Description

Below is the updated course description for Prof. Robbins’ ACJ course for Fall 2013:

This course covers the basic constitutional rights associated with the investigation and adjudication of criminal cases. Topics covered include police searches, seizures, and interrogations, right to counsel, jury trial, and double jeopardy, among others. Also known as Criminal Procedure, this course introduces students to constitutional analysis by examining key provisions of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments as they apply to the criminal justice process. There will be a field trip mid-way. The grade is largely based on a final exam, with a portion coming from class participation.
