Connecticut Appellate Court Chief Judge William H. Bright, Jr., Judge Ingrid L. Moll, and Judge Eliot D. Prescott will visit the UConn School of Law campus for a conversation about clerkships with the Appellate Court.

This is a unique opportunity to hear from the judges themselves about clerkship applications prior to creating yours. It is also a rare event in which three members of the same court, including the Chief Judge, are offering their time to answer your questions about the opportunity to clerk for them.

Format: Professor Richard Luedeman will introduce the judges and moderate. Following the panelists' brief remarks, the format will be a question and answer session. Bring your questions!

You will Learn:
• What a judicial clerkship with the CT Appellate Court entails.
• What the judges are seeking in clerkship applications and interviews.
• Answers to your questions.

Who Should Attend:
• Anyone interested in learning more about judicial clerkships with the CT Appellate Court.
• Students interested in clerkships in 2023 and 2024 are particularly encouraged to attend. 
• A note on the clerkship application timeline: Applications to clerk for the CT Appellate Court are typically due in late May for clerkships beginning the following late May/early June.

Please RSVP via Symplicity (Events) by October 8. We have been asked to provide general information about the audience (total number of attendees and class year makeup) to our esteemed guests in advance. This is an in-person event. Masking is required per UConn COVID-19 protocols.

Dress Code: While there is not a set dress code and full suits are not required, neat, professional dress such as clothing appropriate for an office setting is encouraged. Options may include a suit, a blazer/jacket, dress, dress pants/khakis, a collared shirt, sweater (avoiding sweats/workout clothing). Students will have the opportunity to stand up to ask questions. Clothing that is professional and neat has a tendency to make participants feel most confident.

If you are interested in clerking or in becoming a judge one day, the process begins now! Judge Moll and Judge Prescott are UConn Law alumni who began their legal careers where you are today. Let’s make a strong showing representative of the diverse, talented and engaged student body here at UConn Law!

The event is open to all students, but primarily for students of color. During the first year of law school, we are invited to many dinners that we may not be used to attending. It places us out of our comfort zone. This etiquette lunch will help students become more comfortable at social gatherings by teaching them the basics of table mannerisms and conversational topics. Sponsored by the Black Law Students Association.

CAIL is inviting the Law school community to Lyman Orchards for this event. RSVP required

This symposium will explore the historical context of the Tulsa Race Massacre, the exclusion of the Black narrative in the development of the law, and law schools' obligation to end this exclusionary cycle. Until the centennial of the Massacre this year, many Americans had never heard of the event, the destruction it caused, or the absence of justice for the Greenwood community. The law has never acknowledged the injustices of the Massacre, much less constructed remedies for its impact on the people of Greenwood. To this day, our nation continues to disregard the history remembered and narrated by Black Americans and the violence that continues to threaten them without redress. This symposium will focus on three main ideas suggested by the devastation of the Greenwood community: lack of historical recognition, lack of legal protection, and lack of knowledge surrounding issues of race in legal education.
