SBA General Meeting – Thursday 9/5, 12:30 and 5:15 pm, W-210

Please join the Student Bar Association for our first general assembly meeting on Thursday, September 5 at 12:30 and 5:15 in room W210.  As students of the University of Akron School of Law, you are automatically a member of SBA, so this is a great and easy way to get involved with school organizations.  We will be discussing all of the traditional and newly added events upcoming for SBA this fall.  Olive Garden and refreshments will be provided.

Opportunity: Assist in Preparation for Jury Trial

Attorney John Hill of Buckingham, Doolittle, and Burroughs will be trying a wrongful death case later this year. He is organizing a focus group to serve as a quasi-jury that would react to the evidence as he expects it to be presented at trial. The session would take approximately 2 ½ hours, probably on September 25.  He will pay $35 for each participant in the session. Location and exact time to be determined, but reasonably convenient to the law school.

If you are interested, call his assistant, Kim Dornack, at 330-258-6433 by Wednesday, September 11.

Street Law Seeks Volunteers

Street Law, Inc. is seeking a few law students to volunteer at local high schools.  Street Law is a practical elective course taught throughout many high schools in Summit County. The time commitment will be approximately three hours for the entire semester. Although the time commitment is minimal, it is a valuable opportunity to get involved with the local community. Please email streetlaw@akronbar.org if you are interested in volunteering or have any questions.
