GSLA SOCIAL Halloween Edition – Wed. 10/31, 4-7 pm, The Office

Join the GSLA before the night turns dark and goblins, ghouls (and maybe a few trick-or-treaters) come out to play. We will be holding our monthly social at The Office (778 N Main St, Akron) on Halloween from 4-7pm. There will an assortment of brews and potions (cocktails) at Happy Hour prices from 4-6 as well as half off treats (appetizers) to fend off the hunger-pains of Halloween fun and mischief. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend!

 A few spots still remain for today’s “Law Alumni and Lunch – everything you’ve always wanted to know but were afraid to ask” event. Today at 12:20 in Room 133.   Please join members of the Akron Law Alumni Association for an informal lunch discussion. ”Law Alumni and Lunch” will bring together students and  practicing attorneys to allow students to learn more about the profession. The conversation during this event will be student driven – this is the time to ask those “off the record” questions. Lunch will be served.

ABA Trial Team Advances to National Championship

Our ABA Trial Team, which consists of Kelle Redepenning, Anthony Wise, Kelsie Carson, and Joshua Rau and is coached by Brian Dodez (’09) competed in Boston this past weekend. Due to the inclement weather, their return flight was cancelled, so they rented a car, drove through the night, and arrived back in Cleveland today at 5 am. Despite the travel concerns, the team went undefeated and has advanced to the National Championship in the American Bar Association Section of Labor and Employment Law’s Ninth Annual Law Student Trial Advocacy Competition.  This was the first time Akron participated in this tournament.  Three of the advocates are 2Ls who have never been in a competition, and the other is a 3L who has tried one case in competition prior to this.

Please congratulate these students for an outstanding performance when you see them in the building this week.
