Inside the Classroom: Lawyers as Leaders
Lawyers as Leaders, the leadership project that Professor Elizabeth Reilly envisioned, brought together this essence of collaboration and tradition in more ways than one.  Not only was this project a test of collaborative teamwork internally, but also a quest to unite and build a sense of community externally. By focusing on these two things Akron Law students have created a visible tradition that will hopefully have a lasting impact through the support of our alumni.  Much thought was put into developing the specific pieces and parts of this tradition.  These include the creation of a formal registry of graduating students, a unique lapel pin to be given to graduates during commencement and alumni-only ties and scarves available for later purchase.
