Advanced Legal Applications Announcement

Good morning, everyone!

If you are required to take Advanced Legal Applications (“ALA”) and intend to graduate in Spring 2013, please notify me immediately if you have not applied to graduate in spring.  If you are required to take ALA and intend to graduate in Fall 2013, you will NOT register for the spring course.  We will be offering you an ALA in Fall 2013 that is closer in time to your graduation date (and therefore more useful to you).  To notify me that you intend to graduate Spring 2013 but have not yet applied and believe that you are required to take ALA, please email me at dpalmer1@uakron.edu.  To determine whether you are required to take ALA, please see page 130 of the 2012-13 Student Handbook.
