Law Library Provides Shredding Service to Students

In response to a law student suggestion, the Library has added a shredding service at the Circulation/Reserve Desk.  You can place papers you would like shredded in a box located on the counter near the Library’s LCD display screen.  A word of caution do not put personal financial or other sensitive personal information in the box.  Student assistants at the Circulation/Reserve desk will regularly shred the material in the box. 

We welcome your ideas for other ways the Library could help you.  Please contact me.  Paul Richert richert@uakron.edu or 330-972-6350.

CALI Lesson Review- Where Does the Law Come From?

This lesson covers the structure and function of the 3 branches of the Unites States government, how each branch makes laws and the checks and balances in place that prevent one branch from acquiring too much power.   Even if you are comfortable with how our law is made, it might be wise to work through this short review.  It is a very fast lesson and, like all of the CALI lessons, you learn a lot without realizing it. 

Lesson Completion Time: 30 minutes

How to find this lesson: After logging into CALI, click on Legal Research.  The lessons are alphabetic at the next page.
