Fall
2008 Initial Reading Assignment. Reading assignments for the first week of
the Fall semester are available on the Fall 2008 Term Information page --
click
here, or go to the main
Student
Portal page and click on the Fall '08 link under "Academic term information."
Print copies are available on the table outside the third floor cafeteria.
Not
all professors submit initial assignments, so do not be concerned if there is
no listing for one or more of your Fall courses. The list of initial assignments
may be updated periodically if we receive additional assignments.
If you
have not yet returned to school, you may ask the bookstore to hold your Fall course
materials for you until you arrive, or for an extra fee you may request that the
books be mailed to you. If you would like to take advantage of either of these
options, call the bookstore at 312/906-5605. In addition, you may order your course
books over the Internet by clicking on the Bookstore link on the
Student
Portal page.

Note about Barnes & Noble:
There have been recent news reports about an indictment of certain individuals
charged with indentity theft in connection with a scheme to hack into the computer
systems of Barnes & Noble, Inc. Please note that this does

Chicago-Kent Bookstore), which is a separate company from Barnes & Noble,

Spring 2008 CALI Award Winners. The CALI Excellence for the
Future Award, sponsored by the Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction,
is given to the student or students who receive the highest grade in each section
of each course. The CALI award winners for Spring 2008 courses are available by
clicking
here. If a section or a course is not listed, that means the professor elected
not to give a CALI award, or we have not yet heard from the professor. Congratulations
to all of you who received an award - you should be proud of your achievement.
