Congratulations to the winners of the BarBri Silent Auction.  Brandi Melvin and Nancy Vinsel will each receive a $1,500 certificate good towards the BarBri Bar Review Course.  The proceeds of the silent auction will be used to fund the BarBri Fellowship at the Kentucky Department of Public Advocacy for the summer of 2012.  We especially want to thank BarBri for their generous donation of these certificates.  Without them, this fellowship would not be possible.

This is a reminder that the Bar Bri silent auction for two $1,500 certificates going towards the Bar Bri Bar Review Course will end TODAY at 12:30 p.m.  Bid sheets are posted in the student lobby area.  The winners will be announced at the Bar Bri table in the Mosaic Lobby as soon as they have been determined.  If you are not available to place your last minute bid, you can send a friend as a proxy.  Good luck!
