Interested in Moot Court, but think it isn't open to working evening students?

Hear from a 2L evening student about her experienc on Moot Court.

Hello fellow Evening Students! My name is Joanna Brinkman, and I am a 2L evening student who is currently involved in the Moot Court Honor Society. I am writing to invite questions from those of you who might be interested in participating in Moot Court (MC). The Charles Evans Hughes arguments have just ended, but the summer competition is still to come, and I strongly encourage any of you who have an interest to send your questions to me at jbrinkman@kentlaw.edu

I know that it often feels like evening students do not have the same opportunities as the day students, but I can attest to the fact that MC is an opportunity that is available to you! Like many of you, I work full-time during the day and attend classes only in the evening. Initially I thought I would never be able to fit MC into that schedule; however, I was wrong, and I don’t want to see any of my fellow evening students pass up a wonderful opportunity because you think the option isn’t available for you. If you have any questions at all, I am more than happy to answer them, and I strongly encourage each of you with an interest to pursue Moot Court. ¶ 4/19/2007 09:34:00 AM

Upcoming Events

Our Mission

The Chicago-Kent Evening Law Student Society (ELSS) provides programming for, advocates on behalf of, and builds community among the evening student body.

We represent the interests of evening students by serving as a liaison between evening students and the administration, faculty, staff, and alumni.

We act to ensure that evening students are included in the academics, programs, and services offered by the administration, faculty, Student Bar Association, and other Chicago-Kent student organizations.

All evening students are encouraged to contact any ELSS officer to contribute suggestions for programs, volunteer to get involved, and to express their concerns.

Part-Time Students - What they know that you don't
The National Jurist, February 2007 Part-time law school is just as tough as full-time, perhaps even tougher since many part-timers also juggle jobs and family. But some say they will graduate with a leg up on full-timers.
