Ohio Public Interest Environmental Law Conference
Dear University of Akron School of Law Student Affairs:
Last year, Akron’s School of Law shared information with its students, faculty, and alumni regarding the Ohio Environmental Council’s first annual Ohio Public Interest Environmental Law Conference. On September 13, 2019, the Ohio Environmental Council is hosting the second annual conference offering attorneys 4.5 hours of CLE Credit. The conference’s theme is “Environmental Equity and Justice for All.”
We want to ensure that many Ohio attorneys and law students learn of this opportunity to learn about environmental justice and its legal implications, so we would love to partner with University of Akron School of Law’s student affairs or events team to advertise the Conference to current law students, as well as the Akron School of Law’s alumni across Ohio.
Information about the conference is available on our website: https://theoec.org/opielc/registration/
Let us know if you have any questions, and thank you for your consideration.
AKC’s Companion Animal Law Writing Contest
My name is Emily Holmes, and I work in the Government Relations department at the American Kennel Club. We just launched our ‘Companion Animal Law Writing Contest’ (www.writeaboutanimallaw.com) for law students, and I was wondering if it would be possible to help us publicize the contest to your students. This year’s contest focuses on two questions, the first one is state legislature’s animal control and enforcement laws’ bond-for-care provisions, and the second one is on fraudulent claims of emotional support and service animals. Please let me know what further information you need from me. I appreciate your help with this. Have a nice day.

Online Research Guides can help with GWR
As you start to get settled into your classes this semester, remember that you have access to our many library guides through The Law Library website . Select course guides provide links to further research sources and study aids. If you are doing your GWR this semester, there is a very helpful guide on how to get started, including all of the steps to completion. There is another guide on citation. Good luck this semester, and remember you can always ask the librarians for help! We are staffed from 8am to 7pm during the semester.
