Fall 2025 Newsletter: Week 10

Greetings! I hope your semester is going well so far, as we enter Week 10 already.

LSAT Workshop

This year’s LAST prep workshop is coming up soon! It will be on Saturday, November 15 in 260 Anspach Hall. It will be an intensive, full-day workshop that will cover information, strategy, and tips for each section on the LSAT, practice tests, and a discussion of recent changes to the test. If you are taking the LSAT in the summer or fall of 2026, this workshop is especially for you! If you are taking the LSAT in 2027 (or beyond), and want to get a head start on studying, you are more than welcome to attend as well.

We will begin at 9 a.m. and have lunch together, so that we don’t have to break for lunch. I will provide pizza lunch for everyone (courtesy of the Pre-Law Center), but please bring your own drinks, as well as any snacks you may want to munch on throughout the day. We will officially end by 3 p.m. or so but I will stay to work with people one-on-one, or in small groups, as long as students want me to. I will provide all of the materials needed, so you don't need to bring anything except a pencil/pen and paper. If you also want to bring a computer for note-taking, that's fine. I will send out further details and a sign-up sheet in a week or two. For now, just reach out if you have any questions!

Spring 2026 Law Classes

If you have NOT yet registered for spring classes, or are thinking of changing any of your classes, you should do so ASAP. Decisions on which low-enrolled classes to cancel will be coming from TPTB very soon.

Since I will be on sabbatical this spring, we are offering fewer public law classes than normal (except for PSC 322 and PSC 421). However, I wanted to point out that PHL 410, Philosophy of Law, is being offered in the spring and is a fantastic class. This class discusses human dignity and human rights, and how the law promotes and protects them.  It will also explore the relationship between law, morality, and custom. Dr. Hope May has a law degree (in addition to her PhD in Philosophy) which gives her extraordinary insight into the philosophical basis of the law. PHL 410 satisfies an elective for the Public Law minor as well. I highly recommend that you check it out!

That’s all for now. Have a great week!
