Spring is almost here! The first few days of relatively warm weather and sun are so precious I feel a little superstitious commenting on them. Today however feels different! It is sunny and gorgeous and warm and…I am sitting at my desk reading Property cases. Oh law school. Second semester is so much different than first. This may not seem related to my first rant about spring but trust me it relates.

Connect to the Students1 (Students1 SSID) wireless network, instead of the Public wireless network for better bandwidth. The Students1 wireless network uses the same username and password as the old "Students" Wireless Network.
Students who have not previously registered their PC on the RWU computer registration system will be prompted to login and begin the registration/remediation process when connecting to the Students1 wireless network for the first time. Registrations expire at the end of each semester.

I'm off to Newark this Friday for a 'Representation in Mediation' competition. Newark probably wouldn't be my top destination city, but I have heard it's a lot like New York. Phonetically.
Important ways in which it differs:
1. Its streets are not what dreams are made of;
2. there is much that you can't do.
Mediation is a form of Alternative dispute resolution (ADR), which is a fancy way of saying “anything that costs less than court.” Mediation makes a lot of sense for most clients, but less so for many lawyers. Lawyers are prone to seek out weaknesses in the other side'...

I am delighted to announce the hiring of another excellent lawyer to our faculty. Bela August Walker comes to Roger Williams from Fordham Law School, where she has been a Visiting Assistant Professor for the past two years.

She was selected for the Columbia Law Review, where she rose to become the Essay & Review Editor. Bela has published three pieces...
