Summer 2007 Exams.

•Exam Schedule.
The final exams for the Summer term are listed in the Schedule of Classes available here. You will be notified of the classroom assignments for your exams prior to the start of exam period.

•Exam Reschedule Requests.
The Student Handbook requires that you take your final exams at the times scheduled unless you have an exam conflict (as defined below), or you have a "serious illness or other extraordinary or compelling reason" beyond your control. If you have an exam conflict or believe you have other reasons justifying the rescheduling of an exam, please contact Mindi Mysliwiec (mmysliwiec@kentlaw.edu) no later than Friday, July 6, 2007. A student is deemed to have an "exam conflict" if the student has two exams at the same time, or has two or more exams within 24 hours.

•Exams on Computer Sign-Up.
Many professors allow students to take their exams on computer (either lab computers or students' own laptops, or both). Registration for taking exams on computer will take place from Thursday, July 5 through Tuesday, July 10. To register beginning July 5, log into your Webmail account, click on the Web for Students icon, and navigate to the appropriate form.

Class Ranks for Spring 2007.
The class ranks as of the end of the Spring 2007 semester have been posted and are available through Web for Students.

London Law Consortium: Brochures Available. Chicago-Kent offers a semester of legal study in London each Spring semester as part of a consortium with six other schools. If you are interested in the London Law Consortium for the Spring 2008 semester, please pick up a copy of the program brochure from Denise Lang outside my office (Suite 320C). Spaces in the program will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. We must submit to the program administrators completed applications from all of our participating students no later than Tuesday, September 7, 2007. If you wish to discuss the program in more detail, contact Professor David Rudstein (drudstei@kentlaw.edu; 312/906-5354).

Orientation Leaders and Mentors Wanted.
Each year, entering students tell us that much of their most informative and valuable information comes from other students. As someone who has been there, your advice can be critical to the success of our incoming class. As an Orientation Leader, your tasks may include leading a lunch or dinner discussion with a group of students on the first day of Orientation (Monday, August 20); helping take ID photos; or answering questions and giving advice. As a Mentor, you will be paired with one or two first-year students to provide one-on-one advice and guidance about adjusting to the law school experience.

If interested in being a Mentor: Fill out the online form linked to this page by July 20, 2007. You will be contacted with your match information no later than the first week of classes.

-Name and division
-Are you available to lead a lunch/dinner discussion with a group of students (divided by Legal Writing section) on Monday, August 20, 12:00-1:00pm (day students) or 6:30-7:20pm (evening students)? If so, please provide the name of your first-year Legal Writing professor.

Notice to Graduating Seniors.
If you are graduating this semester, please read the information below about your Kent e-mail and network accounts, and your locker. If you have any questions, please let me know. Note: If you are not graduating this semester, you will keep your e-mail account and locker until you graduate.

•E-mail and Network Accounts. E-mail and network accounts will be terminated on Thursday, July 30 (not July 26, as previously announced). However, IIT offers a free e-mail service to all alumni. Information about alumni e-mail accounts was sent to graduating students recently by e-mail, and is available on the Computer Center's Record page. (Note: The e-mail address on the account will not be the same as your current Kentlaw e-mail address -- it will be an IIT address.)

Clearing Out Lockers. Please clear your lockers out no later than Wednesday, August 1. Anything left in lockers after that date will be removed. If you are unable to clear your locker out by that date, please contact me to make arrangeents for your locker contents to be set aside for you.
