Guest Lectures

We also had a Guest Lecture this month from Nikki Mehrpoo Jacobson on ‘How To Create An Immigration Practice’.  Nikki has also very generously agreed to mentor SPU students who would like to learn more about immigration and will do so through her own study group within SPU.

We also have two more guest lectures lined up for August and September.  Both will be available for free on the SPU Facebook page. Be sure to ‘like’ us and start listening!

SPU Meetup

Fun was had by all at the first Official SPU MeetUp from our students in New York Metro. Check it out.

The comment discussion is particularly interesting in The ABA: Friend, Foe or…Simply Irrelevant for the Solo?

Also stirring passions was the highly read Why Don’t More New Lawyers Go Solo?

Very well received was ‘Oh, The Places You’ll Go….‘

Highlights from Student Blogs:

We are also VERY excited to premiere a new SPU upgrade as well as adding new faculty by the end of this month and throughout September.  Just putting the finishing touches on faculty profiles, announcements and classes.  It makes for an exciting ‘Back To School’ and we’d love for you to be a part of it.

See you on the inside!
