Hi everyone,

Our next meeting is this Wednesday the 30th, from 4:30-5:30 pm @ Angelos Law Center Room 016 - Practice Moot Court.

We are having a Lexis Nexis training session with Professor Emmanuel Turnbull and Dr. Michelle Cotton. It's a great opportunity to meet with each other, and also get a training (or if you are already knowledgeable on the software, then a refresher) on how to do the legal research that many employees at Law firms greatly admire in a job candidate. Hope to see you there and please invite your friends!

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me: [email protected].
