Juvenile Interview Program Information Session – March 31, 10 am, W-206

On Saturday, March 31, 2012 there will be an informational session from 10 AM till noon in  West Hall 206. The purpose of this informational session is to train  interested students to interview juvenile clients at the juvenile courthouse on Dan Street in Akron Ohio. The juvenile court house is about a five minute drive from campus. This program was started last year and has allowed law students to be trained to interview juveniles awaiting a release hearing. You will gather facts about the clients in the early morning hours (7:30-9:00 a.m.) of each weekday and then share that information with the appointed attorneys.

The informational session will introduce you to the program. We will use a video we have previously created to train you. Students who are interested in volunteering or getting pro bono hours are especially requested to attend. If you have  questions please contact Professor Carro at 330-972-7751. If you are interested in attending please e-mail Professor Carro at his e-mail address carro1@uakron.edu  by March 26 so we know how many people will be attending. Thank you.

SUMMER LARW II REGISTRATION

In response to a number of emails we are receiving, please be advised that we have received many emails on LARW II preference for Summer 2012 and will begin the registration process for this course next week.    If you have not responded to the requested information, I am copying our original email of March 1st below:

In an effort to further clarify enrollment options for summer 2012 for CLL students, this email should be helpful as you register.

 FULL-TIME STUDENTS:   LARW II, 2 credits

 Unless there are extenuating circumstances and a student has received email authorization from Dean Jordan or Dean Thorpe, full-time CLL students who successfully completed Property I and II during the fall/spring of first year (D- or higher), must enroll in LARW II for summer 2012.

 If you have extenuating circumstances completely preventing your summer enrollment in LARW II and have not yet received authorization to defer this course until Spring 2013, please email your request directly to Dean Jordan at Jordan@uakron.edu.

 Full-time students may also enroll in an elective course during Summer I or Summer II provided they are NOT employed while taking the elective course along with LARW II.    

 Full-time students may work full-time while ONLY enrolled in LARW II.

 PART-TIME STUDENTS:   LARW II, 2 credits; Property I, 3 credits; Property II, 2 credits

 Unless there are extenuating circumstances and a student has received email authorization from Dean Jordan or Dean Thorpe, part-time CLL students must be enrolled in Property I, Property II, and LARW II in summer 2012.  (total 7 credits) 

 If you have extenuating circumstances preventing your summer enrollment in LARW II, Property I AND Property II and have not yet received authorization to defer enrollment, please email your request directly to Dean Jordan at Jordan@uakron.edu.

 Part-time students may not enroll in any other courses beyond Property I, Property II, and LARW II for summer 2012.  

 Students enrolled in Property I, Property II, and LARW II may NOT be employed during summer 2012.    Students who have no other choice than to be employed during summer 2012 would need to receive email authorization from Dean Jordan to:

 1.      Defer LARW II to spring 2013 (day or evening section)

 OR

 2.      Defer Property I and II to fall 2012/spring 2013 (only offered during day) or summer 2013 (only offered in evening).   Please email your request directly to Dean Jordan at Jordan@uakron.edu.

A.L.i.C.E. Program – Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate

As you may know, our UA Police Department has adopted the A.L.i.C.E. program teaching proactive measures to be taken when faced with an assailant entering a building or classroom. 

 A.L.i.C.E. stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate.  This nationally-renowned training was developed following examination of school shootings, such as the one that occurred at Colombine . . . and closer to our community we consider Appalachian School of Law, Case Western Reserve University and now Chardon.

 UAPD will be here to deliver A.L.i.C.E. training sessions, as follows: 

LAW STUDENTS (lunch hour)

Monday, March 26 — Noon to 1:00 — Law Student Lunchroom

 LAW STUDENTS (dinner hour)

                   Wednesday, March 28 — 5:30 to 6:30 —  Law Student Lunchroom

In the meantime, please view the brief intro training video prior to our in-service training session.   See http://www.uakron.edu/safety/police/services/training.dot
