To all students interested in any left-overs... There are quite a lot of Fazoli's left-overs in the student lounge refrigerator. Please help yourselves! There are also some sodas and tea. First come, first serve. Enjoy!

At the October 2012 faculty meeting, the faculty approved the following change to the upper division writing requirement:

To meet the writing requirement, a paper must be at least 6,250 words in length, exclusive of footnotes or endnotes, and must be supported by footnotes, endnotes, or other appropriate citation of authority.  A paper submitted in a seminar, as well as one submitted for journal publication, must be typed.

The change to the upper division writing requirement will be effective beginning in the Fall 2013 semester.  To view the entire section pertaining to the upper division writing requirement, click here.

Congratulations to Professor Abramson, winner of the SBA Pumpkin War. Professor Abramson narrowly edged out Professor Levinson by 31 cents, for a total of $37.31. 

SBA would like to thank all of those who contributed, all of the professors who volunteered to participate, and Professor Abramson. 

The SBA would like to congratulate Cassie Kennedy for being selected as Student of the Month for October. Cassie is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Law and Education and serves as an Executive Board Advisor for the Student Bar Foundation. She competed on the Criminal Law Moot Court team and represented UofL in the American Bar Association's negotiation competition. In addition to her activities at school, Cassie also volunteers her time to the Central High School partnership as a writing skills mentor and has been involved with the Kentucky Refugee Ministries as a community resources and volunteer coordinator. Cassie is currently a law clerk at the Kentucky Department of Public Advocacy.

Any law student, faculty, or staff may nominate, and the SBA votes to approve, the Student of the Month award. The Student of the Month is recognized for his or her dedication to increasing the University of Louisville Law School's reputation. The SBA Public Relations Chair facilitates this award and current SBA members are not eligible to win the Student of the Month.

If you would like to nominate a student for Student of the
Month, you may submit a nomination at
