Oct. 14th Career Panel

Thanks to Vinh Ho and Chris Lee for coming to campus and speaking with our members about the different career paths available to law students after graduation. The panel was very informative, and we hope to see you all again. Thanks also to everybody who showed up, especially the 20 or so visiting lawyers from China.

Keep an eye out for our next meeting scheduled for Nov. 10th!

Back to school!!

For those new to the University of Houston Law Center, welcome! Hopefully the first week wasn’t too bad and you’re adjusting well.

For those returning, welcome back! Those grooves in the library seats missed you :p

Anyways, we’ve been planning all the ways to make ALSA better and what we want to accomplish all summer and we’re excited to finally be bringing some of what we’ve got to all of you. First up is a general “welcome back”/ informational meeting scheduled for Wednesday, September 8th, at 12 PM in room 240 BLB. There will be another reminder post next week, but for now plan ahead for some free food and a taste of what ALSA is all about.

Let’s make this a great year!
