Spring 2013 will be the last chance for most current students to take two courses in increasingly important subjects. We expect Prof. Baumgartner to be on leave next fall, so we will not be able to offer his International Business Transactions next year. Prof. Richert will be retiring, so we will not be able to offer his International Human Rights. We encourage you to consider these last opportunities to take these courses.

A Warning to New Lawyers from Disciplinary Counsel, The Supreme Court of Ohio
This letter describes a scenario whereby new/young attorneys are targeted by out of state credit repair and foreclosure rescue operations to act at the Ohio “face” for and assist in their consumer fraud. Disciplinary Counsel v. Lorenzon resulted in a six-month stayed suspension.
GWR Credit Available for Law and Theology
Need to fulfill the GWR requirement? Although the registration materials did not show it, GWR credit will be available for Prof. Belsky’s Law and Theology Seminar, in which he will be using his own book. This is a paper course, particularly well-suited to the GWR.
