You weren’t here in the fall for the Library Orientation Session or Library Fun Day?  You need to be able to use the library quickly? 

Learn the basics of using your law library when you have 15 minutes free during the first two weeks of this term.  Topics covered will include the answers to your library-related questions as well as the following:  How to search the Reserves online; how to find textbooks and study aids in the Reserves area quickly; how to use the study rooms; and (most importantly) whom to ask when you need to be reminded of these things or find out something else.

Email Robert O'Leary at reoleary@email.arizona.edu and we will make an appointment when you are free.

Need something good to put on your resume?!?  How about LEGAL REFERRAL CLINIC?

For the first time ever, the UA Law School is hosting the regional round of the National Trial Competition. This is widely considered to be the most prestigious law school mock trial event in the country. The event is co-sponsored by the American College of Trial Lawyers - the most elite trial lawyers in the country. 

As the host school, it is our job to supply witnesses for the competition. Witnesses will have to read a short deposition (approximately 5 pages, double spaced). They will then come to the competition and go to a brief orientation where we explain their roles and what to do during the trial. After that, they will meet with a law student to prep for 10 minutes before the trial, followed by testimony. The entire time commitment is no more than 3-4 hours. 

As a witness, you will get to meet local attorneys and judges. For those who are 1Ls or 2Ls, it is a great chance to see what our Trial Team does, if you are considering trying out next year. This is your opportunity to come out and help our team as they battle to win a chance to compete in the National Championship. 

For those who do not want to be a witness, but still want to help - we also need timekeepers for the rounds. 

The times for the rounds are as follows:

We expect the rounds to end sooner than those listed times. Most rounds will only take about 2 hours. 
All rounds take place at the Pima County Superior Courthouse. 

If you would like to volunteer, please email me: brianmchase@gmail.com

Thank you.
