Law Student Organization Super Draft

10:00 AM

This is your opportunity to select

your shielded date for spring semester! At least one repre-

sentative from each student organization must

attend!

Rumor Mill: When is the schedule for next year going to be posted and how do I find out who my faculty advisor is?

The summer schedule should be finished soon. Registration for summer will be the first week of April. The fall schedule should be ready by May. Regis-tration for fall will be in June.

In law school, you no longer have a faculty advisor. We assume that you can figure it out for yourself. To assist you with your planning, we will have a

whole week of Academic Advising activities in March – well before you have to register for summer or fall and Student Services Advisors are always here to

help. Keep an eye out for more info soon!
