Will this be available to view at a later time? The NY Bar is on the 27t.
Yes. It’s an audio guest lecture and will be available to students 24/7 as usual
In addition, Nikki just graciously agreed to mentor SPU students interested in an immigration practice. As such, we will set up an official study group/forum for questions and answers and she will be part of our community! This will happen shortly.
If I haven’t said it already, I heart SPU!
Great news. Just got to get over this last hurdle called MBE.
Is this audio still available?
Chigozie,
Certain guest lectures are available to students exclusively as these guest lecturers come back periodically as well as maintain classrooms within SPU to address questions and provide mentorship. Nikki is one of these special guest lecturers.
