Akron Public Interest Law Society Meeting – Sept. 21, 12:15 pm

The Akron Public Interest Law Society will hold a general meeting on Sept. 21, 2010, at 12:15 pm in room W-209. There will be snacks, but pack a lunch and come ready to brainstorm. All law students are welcome!

This is an exciting year for APILS, over the course of the year we will be having a number of events and drives, including:

*Kiva lending team
*Book club
*Conference
*Possible speakers
*Coffee Fundraiser

At our first meeting, we will elect officers to replace the positions which are currently vacant, and discuss the agenda for the current year. If you’re interested in participating in the events or have other ideas which you would like to accomplish, we look forward to seeing you!

Attached is a free opportunity to get some basic patent and trademark searching experience and training from the USPTO. The flier says that it is for “librarians” but the library has extended this opportunity to “interested law students or faculty.”

See below for contact information.

The agenda for the training being offered by a US Patent & Trademark Office representative at the Akron-Summit County Public Library on Friday, October 1 is available here. While the agenda says the training is for librarians, it is open to interested law students or faculty.

You can forward this message to whomever you wish, or distribute it however else you choose. We are requiring registration, since seating is limited. Contact the Science & Technology division, stdiv@akronlibrary.org or 330-643-9075 to reserve a spot.
