Our next free Certificate of Qualification for Employment (CQE) clinic is Saturday, October 29, 2016!  We’re very excited to be providing opportunities for ex-offenders in Summit County to take a step toward gaining employment and independence!

We are looking for students to volunteer from 9:30am-12:45pm on Saturday, October 29, 2016.  The clinic will be held at the Akron-Summit County Public Library [60 S High St, Akron, OH 44308]. The time you volunteer can be applied toward your graduation requirement as pro bono limited means hours.

There will be a mandatory volunteer training on Friday, October 28, 2016 from 4:30-6:00pm for first timers. The time you are at training will count towards your pro bono limited means hours as well. For those who have completed the training once before, you are more than welcome to attend the training for a refresher. However, you may not count the training towards your pro bono limited means hours again.

If you’re interested in volunteering or have any questions, please e-mail Brittany at bfw7@zips.uakron.edu. You can also learn more about the clinic at our website: http://www.uakron.edu/law/clinical/cqe-clinic.dot.

Dear Students,

The next BLSA Snack-and-Study will be Monday, October 17 at 5:15 in Central Hower Room 305. We will cover Constitutional Law, Civil Procedure, and Contracts. We realize that 1Ls may attend the mandatory Career Services meeting during that time, so we will cover the upper-division subjects first in order to make sure 1Ls can get their questions answered. All students are welcome and encouraged to attend! Refreshments will be provided.
