Too often, entering students are more familiar with lawyers as adversaries than advocates. Work to develop those vital people skills while in law school. Throughout your legal education, I am always available. As the new academic year gets underway, remember to use the College of Law Web site, law school publications, bulletin boards, and student message folders to keep abreast of news and activities. The Web site is updated weekly with information and links to just about everything related to law study, events, departments, organizations, and various legal resources.
All faculty members have homepages, some with course materials.
FLA LAW weekly newsletter is posted on the site at the start of each week. Other good sources of information about law school events and news are the new Electronic Sign Board at the entrance to the Legal Information Center, and the centrally located Events Bulletin Board on the Holland Hall Concourse. To post a notice on the electronic board, contact Student Affairs. To post one on the bulletin board, submit it to JMBA a week or two before the event. Finally, each Monday skim FLA LAW the official law school newsletter for information and announcements, including various deadlines, employment and networking opportunities, and notices from and about your professors.
