Writing a Paper? The Library Can Help!
If you are writing a paper this semester, the library can help. You can:
- Look at Library Research Guides – These online guides link directly to sources within Lexis, Westlaw and Bloomberg Law that can help you narrow your paper topic and conduct research. There are also links to CCH, BNA, HeinOnline and other databases you might be unfamiliar with. Our guides also point out free Internet sources that you might not necessarily come across by Googling. There are guides for specific topic areas, like Family Law, First Amendment and Current Issues in Intellectual Property, as well as a general guide for Law Review & Upper Level Papers.
and/or - Meet with a reference librarian. Reference librarians are available in Central Hower Room 322 from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Librarians are also available via phone or email. You can also make an appointment with Ms. Passmore, Ms. Souare or Ms. Altmeyer and let them know what you are working on, so they may pull sources for you ahead of time. Contact information for the library staff.

Upper Division Scholarships – deadline to apply is September 16th!
Attention Upper Division Students:
With the fall semester upon us, I’d like to present you with an opportunity to apply for upper division scholarship assistance. During the 2015-16 academic year, approximately $225,000 was distributed to Akron Law students in upper division scholarships. These scholarships are made possible through the generosity of alumni and friends of Akron Law. Some scholarships are awarded to recognize high academic achievement, others are awarded on the basis of financial need, and others are distributed to students who have a particular area of interest or affiliation. The application and a complete listing of scholarships may be found online at www.uakron.edu/ud-scholarship. Please take a few moments to review all of the scholarship offerings that are available before completing your application. Applicants will be considered for all scholarships, but if you feel as though you are particularly qualified for any specific scholarships, please note that in your personal statement.
Scholarship assistance may not exceed the cost of tuition and fees. Upper division scholarships will be awarded during the fall semester and applied to spring semester tuition. December graduates should not apply. Only upper division law students are eligible to receive these scholarships. However, students who started law school in spring 2016 may apply, as awards will not be distributed until spring 2017.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Best always,
Lia
