Please note that all furniture (with the exception of the wooden tables and chairs that are in place as study tables) is surplus Law School property. This furniture is either being held for future Law School use, or is awaiting pickup by University Special Services to be delivered to Surplus Property. Students are not to use furniture (other than above noted wooden tables and chairs) for any reason, without first contacting Anthony Colucci in the Law Dean’s Office. Often, furniture is damaged, and is being disposed of for a reason. Please use only the tables and chairs that are available for your use.

At least once-a-year law students should update their profiles on LexisNexis and Westlaw.  Check your e-mail address and your graduation date.   The faculty may use the e-mail function in TWEN or Lexis Web Course to send e-mail to their students, but if your address is not correct you will not receive the e-mail.  Your access to Westlaw and Lexis depends on your graduation date.  If you extend your course work past your predicted graduation date, you need to notify Lexis and Westlaw of your new graduation date.

Here is how you can update your profile on Westlaw and Lexis.

For Westlaw: Log into Westlaw http://lawschool.westlaw.com/  and on the left side of the page next to your name is the UPDATE link.  Click on that link to update your profile.

For LexisNexis: Log into LexisNexis http://www.lexisnexis.com/lawschool/ and click on the ACCOUNT HELP tab.  At the next screen, click on MANAGE MY ACCOUNT.

The Ohio State Bar Association would like to welcome you to law school!   

I recently attended the new student orientation reception at the University of Akron School of Law.  As the current OSBA president, I was delighted to be given the opportunity to speak to incoming students during this reception. 

I would personally encourage you to get involved with your state bar association from the beginning of your law school experience.  The OSBA has many benefits for law students including committees and sections, networking opportunities, employment assistance, and Casemaker.  Casemaker is our online legal research tool that is offered for free as part of your OSBA membership.  I would encourage you to ask your professors about Casemaker and the training that the OSBA has to offer.  You will find Casemaker to be one of the most used tools throughout your law school career.  Many firms are using Casemaker as their primary research tool. 

 As a current law school student your OSBA membership is FREE! Please click the following link to join the OSBA – remember this is FREE – http://www.ohiobar.org/Pages/staticPageViewer.aspx?articleid=272.

 I am providing a link below to the Law Student Hub on the OSBA website, where you can learn about upcoming events at the OSBA, concerns of other students, your OSBA student liaison listing, awards and scholarship opportunities, and much more.

 Please feel free to contact the OSBA staff at osba@ohiobar.org with any of your questions or concerns and they will be happy to help you.

 I wish you the best in your law school career!
