COURSE INFORMATION

Fall 1994 Clinical Course Announcement

Interviewing and Counseling Teaches Real-World Law Skills

          "Students who have taken part in the Advice Desk
     clinic at the Daley Civic Center say it helped them polish
     their interviewing skills and learn to quickly evaluate a
     case under the pressure of a line of waiting clients.  

          "The experience of drafting motions helps students
     find out how the court system really works outside of the
     classroom, said Brian Kalata, who has formed his own
     general practice since graduating from Chicago-Kent. 
     Kalata, who said the first few weeks were scary, now
     says the clinic was one of the best things he did during
     law school.  
     
          "`All law students should experience the Advice
     Desk because it gives you more hands-on experience,'
     said Kent graduate Audrey Wade, who added that the
     practice will serve her well for her plans to become a
     litigator.  It's a bridge from academia to the real world.'  

          "The clinic, an outgrowth of a Chicago Bar
     Association volunteer program, handles mostly contract
     and forcible entry and detainer cases.  Working at the
     clinic, an elective course, is coupled with an interviewing
     and counseling class." 

                                   --   Excerpted from February 12, 1993
                                        Chicago Daily Law Bulletin article

Enrollment is limited to students who by Fall 1994 will have
received credit for at least three-fifths of the total hourly credits
required for graduation and who are in good academic standing. 
Registration for this course includes a classroom component which
meets at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesdays.  This is why no separate
registration is needed for the classroom component, as stated in
the Fall 1994 Registration materials.  Two pass-fail credit hours.

FROM LAW SCHOOL ASSOC. PRESIDENT, MARSHA C. SPAK, '79

It's hard to believe that my year as President of the Law School
Association is coming to an end.  I'm sure that many of you are
having the same feelings, especially with exams and graduation
quickly approaching.  Before signing off and handing my column
over to the incoming President, Michael Marick, '82, I'd like to let
you know about a few upcoming events.

On Friday, May 13, the Law School Association will be hosting the
Professor Warren Heindl Tribute, at the Chicago Hilton and Towers. 
The evening will begin at 6:00 p.m. and will include speakers, a
multi-media presentation chronicling Professor Heindl's life at
Chicago-Kent, and award presentations.  Students are invited to
attend for a discounted price of $25.  Please email Tiffanie Burnett
(TBURNETT) for more information or to reserve your seat.

The Law School Association will also be hosting a golf outing at
Cog Hill on Friday, June 24.  If you would like to receive an
invitation to the event, please email Tiffanie.

I've had a terrific year as President and have especially enjoyed
meeting so many of you.  Best of luck on final exams to everyone. 
Have a great summer!


 
SPECIAL NOTICES

Attention 1994 Graduates Participating in June 5
Commencement Ceremonies

Your class has a record number of students participating in the
upcoming ceremonies and has also requested a record number of
tickets.  Thus, I am requesting that you please inform me if your
actual need is less than the number of tickets you requested by
emailing me (TBURNETT) by Friday, April 22.  Because of a student
led initiative, the graduation ceremonies were moved into the
downtown area.  Unfortunately, we had to give up an unlimited
seating capacity to do this and ticket requests have outnumbered
the seats available.  Many of your fellow classmates are in need of
the full ten tickets they requested and it would be very
disappointing to have empty seats at the ceremony when a
classmate's family member could use the seat.

After I receive your responses, I will compile the results and mail
tickets on Monday, April 25, filling requests to the best of my
ability.

Special Law School Symposium on Judge Learned Hand and Judging

April 21 at 2:00 p.m., Auditorium

The most distinctive feature of the common law is the role that
individual judges play in law making.  Every law student is familiar
with the great judges who have shaped American law--Cardozo,
Holmes, Frankfurter, and Hand.  Judge Learned Hand sat on the
Second Circuit for over 50 years and is widely considered the
judges' judge.  Professor Gerald Gunther, of Stanford University,
has recently published a biography of Hand, Learned Hand:  The
Man and the Judge.  On Thursday, April 21, at 2:00 p.m., in the
Auditorium, Professor Gunther will take part in a symposium on the
legacy of Judge Hand:  Why Judge Learned Hand was a Great
Judge and What Lessons His Career Holds for the Changing Roles
of the Judge in the Development of Legal Doctrine.  

Professor Gunther is one of the most widely respected
constitutional lawyers and scholars in America.  He was Judge
Hand's law clerk, and in 1991 was named by a National Law
Journal poll as the lawyer most qualified to be nominated to the
Supreme Court.  President Clinton nominated Professor Gunther's
former student and long-time protegee, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, to the
Court last year.  

In his discussion of the legacy of Judge Hand for the future of a
rapidly changing judiciary and legal profession, Professor Gunther
will be joined by Professors David Gerber and Dan Tarlock of the
Chicago-Kent faculty and Professor Douglas Baird of the University
of Chicago Law School.  This is a unique opportunity for students
to learn about one of the giants of our profession.  The symposium
is open to all students and faculty.  A reception will follow.

Legal Writing Teaching Assistants for 1994-95

Applications are now being accepted for Legal Writing Teaching
Assistants for the year 1994-95.  Only students who will be
graduating in June, 1995 may apply.  Teaching Assistants work
closely with the Legal Writing Professors in teaching legal research,
preparing and grading assignments, and with students in drafting
and revising their work.  Applicants should have received superior
grades in their Legal Writing courses and have a strong interest in
helping other students to master the skills of legal research and
writing. Membership on Law Review or Moot Court is desirable,
but is not a requirement of the job.  Teaching Assistants receive
two hours of credit each semester and salary equal to the tuition
for two credit hours each semester.

You must be available to begin work during Orientation Week
(August 17 - 19), in order to attend an intensive training session to
prepare you to teach legal research.

Interested students should submit a current resume to Professor
Ehrenberg in Room 753 as soon as possible.  Please include the
name of your first-year legal writing professor and the grades you
received in the course.   There is a sign-up sheet for interviews on
Professor Ehrenberg's door.  The interview will last 20 minutes and
then applicants will be asked to complete a short quiz on grammar,
punctuation and citation form. 

If you have any questions please contact Professor Ehrenberg.

Law Review Summer Candidacy Writing Program

The Law Review will hold informational meetings for all students
interested in participating in the Law Review Summer Writing
Candidacy Program.  The meetings will be held on Tuesday April
26 at 11:45 a.m. and at 5:30 p.m.  Both meetings will be in Room
210.  Eligibility requirements for the Writing Program are contained
in [[section]] 1.12 of the Student Handbook. 

Selection Process & Academic Requirements for
Chicago-Kent Moot Court Honor Society

There are two methods of selection to the Chicago-Kent Moot
Court Honor Society.  The first involves participation in the Charles
Evans Hughes Moot Court Competition, which is administered from
January to March by the Legal Writing Program with the assistance
of the Moot Court Honor Society.  Students who (i) advance to and
argue in the final (third) round of the Hughes Competition in the
first year in law school, and (ii) earn a B+ or an A as their final
grade in Legal Writing II, and (iii) have completed all courses
required of them as first-year students and have a cumulative GPA
for those courses as of the end of spring semester 1994 not less
than 2.750, will receive invitations to join the Society.  A student
who argues in the final round, but only because he or she was an
alternate replacing an original finalist who could not argue, is not
eligible for this method of selection.

Students also may be selected based upon their performance in the
Moot Court Honor Society's Summer Candidacy Program, which is
separate from the Charles Evans Hughes Competition and will run
from early July to mid-August.  Each student participating in the
summer program will be required to write an appellate brief and
give two oral arguments (one on each side of the case).  The brief
score will count as 50% of each student's total score and each of
the two oral arguments will count as 25% of the total.  The
problem generally is made available to students in the week
following the July 4th holiday.  Students are given approximately
four weeks to prepare and submit the brief.  Oral arguments are
generally held during the weekend immediately preceding the first
day of classes for continuing students.  Results are announced
within two days following the final oral arguments.  While there is
no fixed number of "membership slots" to be filled, and quality of
performance will be the deciding factor, in the past two years
approximately 15 students were selected each summer for
membership based on the summer program.  These students are,
of course, in addition to those selected on the basis of the Hughes
competition discussed above.  Students need not be in Chicago to
write the brief; if a student provides a self-addressed 8 1/2" x 11"
envelope to the President of the Society during the month of May,
the problem will be mailed to that student on the day on which it is
made available in Chicago.  Briefs submitted by mail must be
postmarked no later than the due date of the brief, and only a
United States post office cancelled post mark or an overnight
delivery service mark will be accepted for determination of the
mailing date.

Regardless of the method of selection, students joining the Society
must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.750 as of the
completion of the previous spring semester, and must maintain that
average throughout their membership.  Students who participate in
the summer candidacy program may not know their current
cumulative GPA until sometime after the summer program is 

New Security Services at the Downtown Campus          
          

The administration is pleased to announce that a new safety and
security program has been implemented at the Downtown Campus. 
Levy Security Consultants Limited, a nationally recognized public
safety and security services firm, has been contracted to provide

additional security protection, Sunday through Friday evenings, in
which two security officers will be stationed in the building.  Escort
service will be provided within a two block radius of the building,
upon request, Sunday through Friday from 5:00 p.m. to closing. 
Also, the Campus bus service route has been extended and the bus
will now take riders to Northwestern or Union stations during its
regular pass of these facilities.  You are encouraged to use the
Campus bus when you need to go to the train station.

In addition, Levy will host in-house safety and security seminars
each semester which will be open to all members of the Downtown
Campus community.  The first safety and security seminar will take
place in Room C50 on the following dates and times:

                  Monday, April 18, 3:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
                        Wednesday, April 20, 3:00 p.m.
                    Tuesday, April 26, Noon and 5:30 p.m.

If you are unable to attend the seminar on any of these dates, you
may check out a videotape of the presentation from the library
beginning Monday, April 25.

1994 Summer and Fall Registration and Unpaid Tuition
Balances

Registration for the Fall, 1994 semester will begin on April 18,
1994.  Except as set forth below, students will not be permitted to
register if there is any outstanding tuition balance, including the
payment due on April 1, 1994.

Please note that the Registration Policy will not be waived in order
to allow a student to meet a registration deadline.  Therefore, we
urge you to allow yourself sufficient time in which to complete the
necessary paperwork (it usually takes 1-2 days to process requests
for approval).

Procedure for Registering with an Outstanding Tuition Balance

A student will be allowed to register with an outstanding tuition
balance only if he/she has been approved to receive one or more of
the following loans for the Spring 1994 semester to pay the
balance:

     1.   Stafford Loan (formerly GSL),
     2.   Perkins Loan (NDSL),
     3.   Supplemental Loan for Students (formerly ALAS), 
     4.   Law Access Loan (LAL) or Law Student Loan (LSL),
          and/or
     5.   other institutional loan/s (bank, etc.)

Students will not be allowed permission to register for any reason
other than those listed above.

Students should complete the "PETITION FOR GENERAL UNPAID
TUITION POLICY EXEMPTION" form in order to be considered for
registration with a past balance.  Petition forms may be picked up
at the REGISTRAR'S OFFICE, Suite 220, or the ADMINISTRATION,

Copies of the following verification information must be submitted
along with the petition application:

     1.   Letter from the lender (IIT Financial Aid Office-567-5952,
            bank, etc. -
  NOTE: A copy of the bank loan application/confirmation is required 
           for Stafford and SLS loans; and private loans, LAL and LSL) and,

     2.   Registrar's confirmation of the current outstanding
          tuition balance amount (inserted and initialed by the
          Registrar on the petition form).

Financial Aid Notice

Summer Financial Aid

Students who apply for and receive summer financial aid should
note that any amount borrowed during the summer will reduce the
amount available from that loan type for the 1994-1995 academic
year.  For example, if a $3000 Federal Subsidized Stafford is taken
out during the summer, then the student can only borrow $5500 in
the Federal Subsidized Stafford loan for the 1994-1995 academic
year.  

Graduating Students

All students who have received student loans while attending
Chicago-Kent are required by the U.S. Department of Education to
attend an Exit Interview session before graduating.  These are
group information sessions and will cover aspects of repayment
and consolidation.  Each session will last approximately one hour.

NEWS FROM THE CENTER FOR LAW AND
COMPUTERS

USENET Training

CLASS, the Computer Law Association, held training and
information sessions on using USENET this past April 12.  USENET
is a place where thousands of discussion groups on almost any
topic imaginable reside.  If you missed this session you might want
to contact CLASS, either through HELPDESK (email or in Lab 700)
or through its President, Kay Gemrich (CGEMRICH) for any
additional sessions which may be planned.

World Wide Web Training & More

CLASS will be holding a session on World Wide Web, Gopher,  FTP
(File Transfer Protocol), and Telneting.  The class will take place in
Lab 775 on April 19th.  There will be two sessions, from 12 noon
to 1 :00 p.m. and again from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.  Email Kay

Save Your File Often!   Backup Your File Often!

As we come down to the end of the semester many of you will be
using computers, both here and at home, to create outlines. 
Remember to save you document often.  You might think saving
your files every 5 minutes is over-kill, but it is not.  For the time it
takes to hit 2 or 3 keys you can save yourself possible hours of re-

typing.  There are few things worse than losing the last 4 hours of
changes to your document.

You should also keep a backup of your files on a second disk.  Just
save it on your first disk then swap disks in the floppy drive and
save it again.  There is a HELPDOC located in Lab 700 with more
detailed instructions.

Thank You for Telling Us What's Right or Wrong with the Labs!

We would like to thank those students who take the time to use
the comment/problem report sheets located in each lab.  We take
the comments into consideration, and fix any problems which may
be mentioned. 

Email Information

Please do not use email to send mass-mailings.  It puts a drain on
system resources, especially disk space.  As a reminder, the
Kentnet Classifieds and USENET are available for postings of a
general school-wide nature.  Even if you have nothing to post,
browse through the information there.  You might find a good deal
on used equipment, or tickets for sale, of people who share similar
interests.  Explore.

Network Access Through Xircoms

The Center for Law and Computers has made available Network
Connection Packets that allow you to bring your own laptop into
the building and connect it to Kentnet.  The procedure for check-
out is simple.

You MUST come to a quick training class before you will be
allowed to check-out the packets from the Library Services Desk in
the Library.  These classes will familiarize you with the equipment
and procedure necessary to connect your laptop to Kentnet.  Any
questions you have about the procedure will be answered.  You
must bring your laptop with you to the session.

After you complete the class you will be able to check-out the
packets.  The packets have everything needed - adapter, power
supply, disk, and cable - to connect to Kentnet.  Email Dominick
Grillo (DGRILLO) to set up a time for a class.

Phi Alpha Delta

Here's some info on the speaker event we're co-sponsoring with
KJF and SUPI.  It will be held Wednesday, April 27, at 3:00
p.m.--room TBA.  Everyone is highly encouraged to attend.  As of
right now, two speakers are slated.

The first is Thomas Morsch, a partner at Sidley & Austin who has
spent 24 years at the firm.  He is head of Sidley's Complex
Litigation Group and sits on the firm's Executive Committee.  Since
1985, he has been a member of the Pro Bono and Public Interest
Committee at Sidley, and is currently President of the Public
Interest Law Initiative, which gives a great deal of money to fund
student public interest fellowships each year.  He is the founder
and chair of the Major Illinois Law Firm Pro Bono Consortium,
which recently got a commitment from the 28 largest Chicago law
firms requiring each attorney to put in 30 hours of pro bono service
per year.  Mr. Morsch has received several awards from various
civic organizations for his service to the legal profession and
advancement of pro bono work in Illinois.  He will address how law
firms view pro bono work and how it can help one's career.

The second speaker is Karen Berman, a 1991 graduate of
Northwestern Law School.  Ms. Berman has worked as a summer
associate at Sachnoff & Weaver and Monahan & Cohen.  She is
now serving as staff attorney for the Chicago Committee for Civil
Rights Under the Law on a Skadden Arps fellowship, and 
will address the same issues as Mr. Morsch, from the
student/recent graduate perspective. 

This event should be interesting and informative, addressing issues
relevant to anyone entering the legal profession, be it through large
or small firm private practice or by way of the public sector. 
Watch for room assignment later.

Once again, the time of year has arrived for you to begin the
process of applying for financial aid for next year.  Please take note
of the calendar of important dates below; I suggest that you save
this memo for future reference.  Your financial aid, whether a loan
and/or a merit-and-need-based scholarship, depends on it.

We have prepared folders containing the applications, as well as
information to assist you with the application process.  Please be
sure to read through the entire packet.  There were many changes
to the financial aid application process last year and there will be a
few more for next year.  The application packets can be obtained
in the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid, Suite 230.

To be eligible for all forms of financial aid you must meet the
deadlines listed below.

Calendar of Important Dates:

By May 16

     1.  After you file the FAFSA, you will be sent the Student
     Aid Report (SAR).  All pages of the SAR should be in the
     Office of Admissions and Financial Aid by May 16, even
     though it will say that you are not eligible for the Pell
     Grant (Pell Grants are for undergraduates only).  Be sure
     to complete the Student's Use Box on the back of page
     one.

     Corrections:  If you need to make corrections to your
     SAR, be sure to send a copy of the SAR, with all of the
     corrections indicated, to the Office of Admissions and
     Financial Aid.  Send the original to the address on the
     back of the SAR.  A revised SAR will be mailed to you
     approximately two weeks after the corrections are
     received at the processor.  Make sure that you sign the
     report where indicated or the revisions will not be made.

     2.  If you are selected for Verification, you will be asked
     to submit copies of your tax forms and a Verification
     Statement.  These materials and your SAR must be
     returned before a financial aid award will be determined
     for you.

By June 1

     You should sign and return your financial aid award letter
     to the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid by June 1,
     or within three weeks of the date printed on the award
          letter if you received it after June 1.


By July 1

     You are expected to turn in student loan applications
     from the lender of your choice by July 1.  Loan
     applications for Law Access, LAWLOANS, Chase
     Manhattan, and any Illinois bank are available in the
     Office of Admissions and Financial Aid, Suite 230. 
     However, the office has a limited supply of applications
     so it is best to contact your lender directly to obtain the
     necessary application.

We are ready to help if you need assistance--just call the Office of
Admissions and Financial Aid at (312) 906-5180.

Thank you for your cooperation.
