Re:	ALL CURRENT STUDENTS NOT GRADUATING IN MAY:
	UB Law Faculty Urges You to Sign Up Now for Free Associate
Membership in a Section of the Maryland State Bar Association

In order to help UB law students gain legal experience and exposure to
the practice of law, the University of Baltimore School of Law has
arranged for all rising 2nd, 3rd and 4th year law students to be
registered free of charge as associate members of the Maryland State Bar
Association (MSBA).  Because the first round of membership will start
July 1, 2008, all current students not graduating in May will be
enrolled. 

The membership includes automatic enrollment in the Young Lawyers
Section PLUS one section of each student's choice.  Sign up now by
filling out the linked form
http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB227PRYEPV92, because this will
benefit you in the following ways:  

(1) 	You will gain access to the section's list serve.  We anticipate
this will make you aware of, and open the door for your involvement in,
public service and legislative efforts important to the section of your
choice.  Being on the list serve may make you quickly aware of some
service or employment opportunities for which you may apply. When UB law
students participate in programs and volunteer to assist with projects -
and perform well and professionally - more doors will open, for lawyers'
participation in the UB EXPLOR program and in our mentoring program, as
well as for paid employment opportunities. 

Please be sure to identify yourself as a UB "law student" when you
participate in a list serve discussion.

(2)	The associate membership will give you the opportunity to
network, be regularly informed of and attend section and general bar
programs. 

(3)	You will gain access to the Maryland Bar Journal online. 

(4)	You will receive a hard copy of the Bar Bulletin.

The deadline for enrolling in the section of your choice is May 31,
2008.
