Substance Abuse Lecture: One-Hour is Required by Ohio Bar

Tuesday, January 20, 2015

5:30 – 6:30 pm, Room 151

All students are REQUIRED to take a one-hour substance abuse lecture before they are permitted to take the Bar Exam in the State of Ohio.  We offer FREE substance abuse lectures to the entire law student body.  You do not need to be a graduating student to attend;  you just need to attend a one-hour lecture while you are in law school.

No R.S.V.P. Necessary

Each Session Begins and Ends Promptly.  Please Note:  There will be no admittance after the program has started at 5:30 pm.

Substance Abuse Lectures are offered once during the fall semester, and once in the spring semester.   The next lecture after January 20 will not be offered until fall 2015.

If you have any questions, please contact Mary Cooke in Student Services at mec@uakron.edu.  Thank you!

Internal ABA Client Counseling Competition – Mock Client Volunteers Needed!

Next Tuesday, January 13 – Thursday, January 15th we are holding the American Bar Association Client Counseling Competition here at Akron Law. A fun way to get involved is to volunteer as a mock “client” for the competition. In this role, you will receive a script and instructions regarding your case. You will then be interviewed and counseled by teams of your classmates who are competing. You will also get to meet and learn from experienced attorneys!

We are in need of client volunteers on Tuesday, January 13th, Wednesday, January 14th, and Thursday, January 15th (only one volunteer needed for Thursday) from 5:00 – 9:00 PM each night.

Each client volunteer will receive 4 community service hours per night toward your graduation requirement and dinner!

If you are available to volunteer, please email Alisa Benedict O’Brien (ab139@uakron.edu) ASAP and specify the date(s) you wish to volunteer. Thank you!
