UB will be upgrading its PeopleSoft application this October. One of the major changes for students will be the Portal – which is what you use to register for classes, check grades, etc. Our Office of Technology Servicces (OTS) is looking for some law students to test the new environment Tuesday, September 30th or Wednesday, October 1st any time between 9am and 6pm. Testing should take no longer than one hour. If you are interested, contact Cindy Schuster at: cschuster@ubalt.edu

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.
Coverage includes the Supremes, 1 U.S. 1 solid through 524 U.S. 775 plus intermittent coverage through 2005; Circuits, 178 F.2d 1 through 999 F.2d 1584 and 1 F.3d 1 through 491 F.3d 1342. All of the decisions are very nicely formated in XML and transform wonderfully to the web.
Folks,
Just a gentle reminder for those of you charged with distributing the
CALI authorization codes needed to complete registration on the CALI
website that the codes are _not_ passwords. Please make sure that you
are letting faculty, staff, and students know that they still need to
register on the site before using Lessons, etc. I suspect that
somewhere along the food chain the authorization codes are being handed
out without adequate explanation and as a result some students and
faculty are simply trying to login with an email address and the auth
code as the password. That doesn’t work:)
I’d appreciate it if you would take a few minutes and make sure that
adequate instructions on how to use the authorization codes are
available to whoever is handing them out.
Thanks,
Elmer.
