TIPS for the UNLV Law Fair: Max it out!
Hooray!
The 2009 UNLV Law Fair is fast approaching! On October 26 from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm, more than 60 law schools will gather in the ballroom at the Student Union to answer your questions! Does it sound intimidating? Here with some suggestions on how to prepare yourself for the festivities is Amy Urbanek, the Prelaw Advising Coordinator at the University of Utah:
Amy's advice implies a couple of important pieces of information about the people you'll meet at the law fair. The most important piece of information is who you'll be speaking to.
Some schools will send someone from their admissions office. These people will likely have a say in who gets accepted an who does not. You'll want to ask these folks about what their ideal candidate would be, and what characteristics they hope their incoming class (as a whole) will have. You might not want to ask the sort of factual questions that you could easily have learned from their website (i.e., Which town are you in? How many students do you have? What is your US News Ranking?). You might also want to tread with caution when asking things like "How hard are the classes?" and "Who is the easiest legal writing prof?"
Other schools will send alums to the Law Fair. These are folks who have made it through the school's program and have emerged at the end of the tunnel with a J.D. in hand. These folks will not be sitting in on the admissions decisions, and they generally won't be law professors from that school, so the questions you'll ask them will be different. They might be able to give you a sense of what the admissions folks are looking for in their "ideal candidate," but they'll also be able to give you a sense of what it's actually like to be a student there. If you ask the admissions representatives about their "favorite thing about Law School X," they're likely to say something broad (and generally unhelpful, no offense), like "we place great emphasis on student diversity and we offer a quality educational setting..." Er..ok. We'd sort of figured that out ahead of time. If you ask the alums, though, they might say "I loved Professor Smith's tort class, but you'll never make it through if you don't ____," or "The library can be loud sometimes, but there's this great little spot on the third floor where the librarians hang out..."
Amy also points out that your conduct is important. You might like to think that nobody would remember you, but don't be so sure. You really don't want to be that guy. You know, the guy who says things like, "Why would anyone want to go to law school in East Lansing, Michigan? I mean, I think that my scores are probably way too high for your school, anyway." You don't want to be the guy who knocks over the admissions official's table and then laughs as she struggles to right the ship. While your good behavior might not go down in history, your bad behavior is likely to come back and bite you. You might also consider that the dress code in Vegas is a little more, er...well, permissive than elsewhere in the country. You don't need to come in a business suit, but it might help to have your midriff covered. I can't imagine that I actually have to say all of this, though, as I expect that you already knew it.

Does it sound intimidating? Here with some suggestions on how to prepare yourself for the festivities is Amy Urbanek, the Prelaw Advising Coordinator at the University of Utah:
Great advice, Amy! There will be a lot going on, and it may be tempting to just wander around aimlessly. It's normal to feel a bit embarrassed about asking questions, so it's helpful to know what you want to ask ahead of time.It can seem overwhelming at first to see all those tables, but relax - the representatives are accustomed to talking about their schools and are anxious to speak with you, so don’t be nervous. There are no "dumb" questions, and as long as you are polite and interested you will come across just fine. You are not there to be interviewed by the schools. These law fair representatives attend many similar events so they are unlikely to remember you. On the other hand, do mind your manners. They will remember you if you are rude, and that won’t work in your favor. You do not need to dress up, but do look respectable.
Take advantage of this opportunity to explore. Don’t just visit the tables of schools you have already decided upon. Wander through the room and talk to as many schools as you can. You might find a hidden gem that you would otherwise have missed.
It is perfectly acceptable to ask what a school is looking for in an
applicant. Ask this same question of a number of different schools. You will find many areas of agreement, but you may also find some areas where schools differ a bit, and may even pick up a few good "insider tips".If you are speaking with an alumnus or current student from a law school rather than an admissions professional, ask them to give you "the scoop" on what it is really like to attend that school. What did they like? What didn’t they like? Do they have any tips on what it takes to be successful there? While they may not be able to provide the same level of detail on the law school’s programs, faculty, etc., the more informal information they can provide can be invaluable.
As you ask questions, make sure you keep track of each school’s answers. You don’t want to get home to find you have a wealth of good information but no idea where it all came from!

JD/MELP from Northeastern and Vermont Law
Posted on behalf of Northeastern University School of Law:
Northeastern/Vermont join a relatively short list of schools offering formal dual degree programs in law and environmental issues. Others include Tulane's JD/MSPH (or MPH) degrees in environmental health sciences, the JD-MEPS (or MEPC or MSEPC) in environmental pollution control at Penn State, Vermont's own JD/MSEL program in environmental policy and law, and JD/MSL programs in environmental policy and law at Idaho, UC Davis and South Dakota (which also works through Vermont Law). There are several other available programs, like Stanford's JD in environmental science, Dukes JD-MS in environmental science, and several other joint degrees in environmental management, environmental studies, and the like. For more, see the NAPLA/SAPLA Law School Book of Lists.
-UNLV Prelaw
Northeastern University School of Law announces a new partnership with Vermont Law School--a national leader in environmental law--to train lawyers interested in playing a critical policy and advocacy role as environmental leaders. Northeastern law students earn a JD from Northeastern and a Master of Environmental Law and Policy from Vermont Law School in the same three years that it would take to earn just the JD. The program includes a summer of advanced environmental courses at Vermont and four full-time, 11-wee co-op externships.
Working together, Northeastern and Vermont are building environmental field placements around the world. Students may also qualify for fellowship support through Northeastern's Program on Human Rights and the Global Economy.

Wayne State's International Legal Studies Program
Posted on behalf of Wayne State University Law School:
Wayne State Law School joins a very long list of schools with international programs. For a list of others, see the VERY helpful NAPLA/SAPLA Law School Book of Lists maintained by Boston University's Pre-Professional Advising.
-UNLV Prelaw
Wayne State University Law School is pleased to announce the launch of its new Program for International Legal Studies. Professor Gregory Fox has been named as Director.
International law cuts across all aspects of a Wayne State legal education. Fully one-third of Wayne Law's tenured and tenure-track faculty teaches and writes on international subjects. Those faculty members enjoy world-wide reputations as innovative and prolific scholars, publishing on the most important issues of the day. Students can take classes on a remarkable range of international topics, from international commercial transactions to international environmental law to the use of military force and the protection of human rights. And study abroad programs give students a first-hand view of other nations' legal systems and their approaches to legal education.

JD? Why not MS in Legal Tech?
Albany Law School has just unveiled a Master's degree in Legal Studies with a Technology Transfer concentrations. They are marketing this as an alternative for folks who haven't made "immediate plans for law school." The program includes introductory legal topics as well techonology transfer topics and intellectual property training.
There are a lot of options when it comes to graduate legal studies degrees, but this is the first program that I know of with a technology transfer focus. Check it out here.

Law Schools w/January Start Date
Pace Law School just announced the launch of a January start date program. Their program allows students to start in January and make up the extra semester over the summer, joining their peers for their 2L class. The application deadline for Pace's January 2010 program is November 16, 2009.
This is a neat new program, and Pace is one of the few to have it. Here is my best list of schools with Spring Start programs (although I make no guarantees here). Be sure to contact your school of interest to confirm. Remember that every program is different, so you'll need to track down the program details:

UNLV Prelaw FAQs | Health Insurance for Law Students
A forward-thinking UNLV Prelaw student recently asked a great question about health insurance, which I've paraphrased here:
If this doesn't pan out, you'll want to contact your law school. Indeed, this is something you'll want to investigate when you're choosing your law school. Each law school has a different plan for covering its students. Unless you've got a scholarship package that includes this coverage, you'll probably have to pay a premium for it. The premiums and coverage will vary by school.
That said, most states do not currently require you to have health insurance if you don't want it. While international students are typically required to carry this kind of coverage, domestic students are often free to decide for themselves whether or not to have health insurance coverage during their law school years. You can find out the status of these requirements on a state-by-state basis by visiting the Georgetown University Health Policy Institute's website.
Once you've narrowed down your list of schools, it is a good idea to check their websites for information about health insurance. You can find links to the ABA Accredited Law Schools on the ABA's website, and a list including other law schools can be found on the LSAC website.
Once I become a full time law students, how will I be able to get insurance? Will it be expensive? How good is the insurance?The short answer is that there is no short answer. The first plan of attack is to check with your parents. You may be able to continue your coverage under their plan, depending on your age, your enrollment status, and your folks' insurance carrier's rules on these things.

A Nottingham LLM Before Law School?
[Note: This information is provided as a courtesy to UNLV Students. UNLV Prelaw does not endorse any particular LLM Program.]
Today, information about the Masters (LLM) programs at the University of Notthingham School of Law has arrived on Dr. Wood's desk. Here's an excerpt:
US college students may not be aware that their undergraduate experience could
be excellent preparation for spending twelve months reading for the degree of
LLM at one of the UK's premier law schools beflre they enrol for their JD back
at home. Our Masters programmes are open to talented and highly-motivated
arts and social sciences graduates, with a minimum GPA of 3.0.
If you are interested in this program, visit the School of Law's website or stop by Dr. Wood's office to pick up a packet of information.
