Fundraiser
Sign-up
Arlington Race Track is
offering Women in Law the chance to raise some money.
They are looking for volunteers to work as ushers from
7am-6pm on Saturday, October 26. For each volunteer,
we will receive $50 for WIL.
Anyone who participates
will also be invited to a special private thank-you
party.
We are looking into
taking a train out and back, but if we cannot, we also need
volunteers to drive everyone from and back to school.
Please email wil@kentlaw.edu
right away to sign up as we need to send a list out to
Arlington.

DUES
To join Women in Law and
receive the benefits of a member (law school outlines,
mentorship program, social events) you have to pay your $10
dues for the year. If you have not yet done so, please
place your cash or check (IN AN ENVELOPE WITH YOUR NAME) in
the Women in Law mailbox found on the second floor (right side
mailboxes).
Bake
Sale!
Thank you to everyone
who came to sit at the table and brought goodies to
sell. If you are missing any pans or containers,
please email wil@kentlaw.edu.
This bake sale was extremely successful.
First Meeting
The first Women
in Law general meeting was held on Monday, September 9.
If you missed it, the information covered was an introduction
of the board members (their names are found below), the
Mentorship Program, volunteer opportunities, and dues.
The mentorship program is
a program where law students are matched up with an attorney
in the area of law they are interested in practicing in.
In the next few weeks, the mentorship program coordinators
will be contacting you to send in certain information to be
matched up. Of course, you have to be a dues paying
member first so get your dues in soon.
Information about
volunteer opportunities can be found on the Women in Law
Bulletin Board on the Concourse level or on our webpage.
Also, if you have any
ideas for programs that you would like to see, or if you would
like to get more involved by running a program or bringing in
a speaker, please let us know. You can email us at wil@kentlaw.edu.
