Akron Law Announcements

SAVE THE DATE: The Student Bar Association is hosting its annual Public Interest Law Fellowship Fundraiser, which is aimed at raising funds to provide stipends for law students who work in non-profit or public interest settings during the summer.  

The Public Interest Fellowship Program supports and encourages students looking to gain legal experience in public interest law. Students who have secured a placement with a public interest organization, such as a court, a state or federal agency, or a qualifying non-profit entity, are eligible to apply for a fellowship to support their legal work. Students who apply for a fellowship must attend the event. 

This year we are hosting a virtual trivia night and winners will earn bragging rights and a trophy. There will be other awesome prizes given throughout the night. We hope to see you there!

As a reminder, the “Meet the Public Service Employers” list of opportunities and resume collections closes on Symplicity this Friday, March 19th at Noon. If you haven’t visited the list, be sure to do so by then, and to upload your resume for individual employers. Reminder: on Symplicity, under “OCI”, you need to be viewing the “Meet the Public Service Employers” session. If you have any questions, contact Dean O’Brien: ab139@uakron.edu.
