Spring Break is an important time for law students to review and outline, and can be a real boost in preparing for exams and catching up on study tasks.  So 1Ls, be sure you take advantage of this time and take the Spring Break Challenge on March 22! 

Here’s how it will work:

1. Enjoy your spring break (March 14 – 20), but catch up on your reading; catch up on your outlining; and intensely review your outlines (especially Contracts).
2. On the Tuesday that you return from Spring Break, take the Challenge!
3. The Challenge will consist of many objective-type (non-essay) questions covering only one subject – Contracts II.
4. Your goal is to correctly answer as many questions as you can, in any order, in 30 minutes.
5. All you need is a pen.
6. There will be separate Challenges for Section 1 (Nowka) and Section 2 (Giesel) contracts classes.
7. The student who answers the most questions correctly will be crowned the Spring Break Challenge Champion.
8. Great prizes will be awarded to the first- through third-place finishers, including an iPod Touch 8G, 3,200 LexisNexis Reward Points, and Restaurant Gift Certificates courtesy of Kaplan PMBR.

Section 2 students:  You take the Challenge on Tuesday, March 22, right after your Torts class, from 11:25 to 11:55, in Room 275.

Section 1 students:  You take the Challenge on Tuesday, March 22, right after your Contracts class, from 11:45 to 12:15, in Room 175.

Last year's winners were Julie Simonson (champion), Lani Burt, Amanda Anderson, and Nancy Vinsel. 

Please join the BLS Professors and the Moot Court Board in Room 275 on Wednesday, March 9, from 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.  Terry Cushing, the Appellate Chief for the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western District of Kentucky, will be presenting on how to properly give an appellate oral argument.  Come prepared with any questions that you might have!

All faculty and students of the law school are invited to join the members of Louisville’s legal community for a kickoff to St. Patrick’s Day event on Thursday, March 10.  The event will start at 6:00 pm at Molly Malone’s on Baxter Avenue.  There will be food, drinks, and music provided by the Young Lawyer’s Section of the Louisville Bar Association, the Student Bar Association, and other sponsors.  This is a great event to network with some attorneys in Louisville, as well as with your colleagues and faculty of the law school.  Continue your professional development and kickoff spring break at the same time!  Please see the attached invitation for more details and email Kristie Wetterer (kristie.wetterer@gmail.com) with any questions.  We hope to see you there!

Are you trying to figure out how to tell your boss that you need time off over the summer to study for the bar exam? One solution is offered by the Office of Professional Development Temp Service! If you need to leave your job for six weeks or so, we can find a 1L or 2L to hold down the fort while you are gone. It's a win all the way around! Your boss will think you are a genius for thinking of this great plan, you'll be able to study for the bar, and one of our 1Ls or 2Ls will gain some experience and be forever grateful to you!

If you are interested, please let Dean Urbach know by March 20. Thanks!
