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.

Bookstore Hours.
The Bookstore's hours for the Fall semester are available on the Fall 2008 Term Information 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 not involve Barnes & Noble College Booksellers (the company that operates the Chicago-Kent Bookstore), which is a separate company from Barnes & Noble, Inc.

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.

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 2009 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 September 12, 2008. If you wish to discuss the program in more detail, contact Professor David Rudstein (drudstei@kentlaw.edu; 312/906-5354).
