This year, the Moot Court Honor Society will be holding tryouts in the Spring instead of the Fall as we have done in the past. The tryouts will be held on Saturday, May 13th (after finals), beginning at 9 a.m. Those who wish to tryout are asked to prepare a seven-minute oral argument based on a short fact pattern. Students are also asked to submit a three-page section of the Law and Argument portion of their LARW II brief as a writing sample. To register for a time and to submit your writing sample, please email Sam Meadows at sam262@zips.uakron.edu.

If you are unable to attend the tryouts on May 13th, students can instead opt to participate in the Moot Court Internal Competition on April 22nd at the law school at 1 p.m. and have their argument recorded and used in lieu of attending the May 13th tryout. The Internal Competition is an intramural oral argument competition where contestants will have to write a ten-minute argument for both the petitioner and respondent and will only know which side they are arguing shortly before the rounds begin. There will also be a cash prize for the first and second place advocates. If you would like to participate in the Internal Competition and have your argument recorded, please email Jacob Nicholas at jpn24@zips.uakron.edu to register. You are still required to submit a three-page section of the Law and Argument portion of their LARW II brief as a writing sample to Sam Meadows at sam262@zips.uakron.edu.

If you plan to complete your law degree at the conclusion of Summer 2017 or Fall 2017 a graduation application for degree candidacy is required. 

Submit your FREE graduation application NOW via My Akron.  Late applications require permission, so don’t delay.

The DEADLINE for law students to apply for Fall 2017 degree candidacy is Monday, May 1, 2017.  

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Assistant Dean Brian Fuller (bfuller@uakron.edu) or Manager Liz Wascak (liz@uakron.edu).

The law school dean’s suite has a Lost and Found for items found in the law school.  Please inquire or leave found items at the front desk.

Unclaimed items are periodically forwarded on to UA’s main lost and found which is located at the UA police department (map). From there, items not claimed after 90 days may be donated to charity, destroyed or distributed for departmental use.
