Thanks to all of you who are attending in-person classes for complying with the face mask policy and social distancing requirements. We’ve had very few issues and when we’ve reminded you, you’ve responded politely and professionally. We know that wearing a mask is unpleasant, but we appreciate your compliance and cooperation. That’s how we’ll get through this together!

For those attending classes remotely, please keep up the hard work and stay safe. We look forward to having you back in the building!

The Akron Law Federalist Society is hosting Professor Stephen Ware, University of Kansas Professor of Law, in a discussion over defunding the police with BLSA speaker, Mr. Edward Gilbert. Professor Mike Gentithes, Akron Law Professor, will moderate and provide commentary following the panel discussion in order to engage the issues with each side’s views. Like the debate over qualified immunity, this event is sure to be engaging given the country’s current affairs with law enforcement.
