July 27 Open House Recap

On July 27, 2013, we hosted an open house for prospective students, most of whom are considering starting law school in the fall of 2014. The program was highly successful: more than 80 guests were in attendance, and many people went out of their way to tell me and Mary how much they enjoyed the event.

Mary and I would like to publicly thank the following individuals for their assistance on Saturday:

  • Gary Spring and Marty Belsky for teaching mock law classes
  • Law student Rachel Scava for assisting with check-in
  • Law students Justin Burns, Jackie Cabonor, Joseph DelGallo, Evan Grasse, Patrick Hanley, Olivia Kotter, Christina McClish, Phil Orenstein, Ashley Wakefield, and Jonathan Wolnik for serving as panelists and tour guides
  • Alumni Jennifer Hamey (‘06), Alan Medvick (‘06), Mike Pfahl (‘04), Jack Pierson (‘82), and Larry Tucker (‘84) for serving as panelists

Events like these simply don’t work without the assistance of faculty, staff, students, and alumni. Thanks to all for your help and support.

Reminder on Credit Hour Enrollment Limits

Full-time:        A full-time load is 12 to 16 credit hours each fall and spring semester.

Part-time:      A part-time load is 8 to 10 credits each fall and spring semester.

 ABA Standards limit the maximum number of credits that can be earned in any single semester to 17 credits.  The credit calculation includes all graduate courses approved for law school credit, including those taken with a joint degree.

 Students should report all planned course work taken outside the law school prior to the term of enrollment.  All such work taken during a given semester (including credits that will not be applied toward the JD degree) will be considered with law credits when making determination for overload permission.

 Overloads MUST be approved before the beginning of the semester.  Please submit the Overload Request Form located at: http://www.uakron.edu/law/students/studentservices/ to College Program Specialist Terri Bisesi.  Failure to receive permission could result in non-credit of coursework and reduced or zero refund.
