Miller and Willliam C. Becker Center for Professional Responsibility Distinguished Lecturer Series. Morgan’s lecture, titled “The Changing Face of Legal Education: Its Impact on What it Means to Be a Lawyer,” will focus on the changes the ABA has proposed in accreditation rules, what difference can be predicted in the kind of graduates produced, and what those differences may make to potential clients and to others who became lawyers under different standards. One hour of free CLE (continuing legal education) credit will be offered. A reception will immediately follow the lecture. This lecture is free and open to the public, however registration is required. To register, call ext. 6363, e-mail manovac@uakron.edu or visit online at http://www.uakron.edu/law/millerbecker/distinguishedlecturerseries.dot .
