Interested in attending the OSBA Labor/Employment Law Seminar in Columbus??

The OSBA is offering scholarships for its 52nd Annual Midwest Labor and Employment Law Seminar to be held October 15 and 16 at the Hilton Columbus at Easton Town Center. The Ohio State Bar Association’s Labor and Employment Law Section has sponsored these scholarships for several years to encourage students with an interest in this field to see real-life issues being addressed by some of the leading practitioners and legal scholars in the country.

Akron Law will be nominating two law students to attend the conference free of charge, including travel expense reimbursement. There is a social reception on Thursday evening that the students will be able to attend.

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about labor and employment law and to network with Ohio attorneys! If you are interested in being considered for one of the two scholarships, please email a resume and brief statement of interest to Director O’Brien: ab139@uakron.edu no later than Wednesday, September 30th.
