School of Law : Dayton Docket

A Look Back: 2013 in Review
A Show of Support

Pet Therapy DogRemember taking your first round of finals and the overwhelming feelings of stress? This term, UDSL stepped up to help its law students deal with the extraordinary pressures of final exams. Upper classmen from the Student Bar Association showed their support and encouragement for 1Ls through encouraging posters. A meditation room was created to encourage students to take a mental break from studying stocked with light reading materials, tabletop sand gardens and board games. Prayer sessions were held midday for a spiritual boost. Free yoga classes and dogs brought in from the Miami Valley Pet Therapy Association were also offered to help students take a break to relax and refocus.

UDSL bids a fond farewell to Kelly Henrici

Kelly Henrici '94

Kelly Henrici ’94, executive director of the Program in Law and Technology at the University of Dayton School of Law, announced her decision to take the position as director of the Greater Dayton Volunteer Lawyers Project. Henrici had run PILT since 2007, and everyone in the UDSL community greatly appreciates her hard work and contributions to advance UDSL's leadership in law and technology. We wish her much luck and success!

Michael Jacobs, distinguished practitioner in residence, former General Counsel of LexisNexis, Inc. and long-time supporter of PILT, will assist with administrative duties beginning January 8. In addition, Jacobs will be teaching courses in PILT. We appreciate his assistance in this time of transition.
