This Week in the Law School
Welcome to the 10thILA of the spring semester. Where does the time go? Many student organization elections take place this week — let's keep the Russians out of 'em. Free coffee and donuts on Wednesday morning; just show that you've completed your LSSSE survey. Though it requires a 15-minute investment of your time, the LSSSE helps us become a better school by knowing what we're doing well (ILA!) and where we can improve (Parrish's PowerPoints!). We take the results to heart. Seriously, Dean Parrish will make bar graphs and make us look at them after the results are in.
Finally, please plan to attend the George P. Smith, II Distinguished Professorship–Chair Lecture with Harvard Law's Vicki Jackson next Monday, April 3.
