Current and former Law Badgers of Wisconsin, don't forget to register and vote in the upcoming statewide elections (Supreme Court and Superintendent of Schools on the ballot!). Need more information on the State Supreme Court race? The State Democracy Research Initiative provides all of the information necessary to make an informed decision!

Over the next few weeks OCPD wraps up our 1L required programming with panels and presentations on job searching in both the private and public sectors. Megan Zurbriggen, JD has put a lot of work in to restructuring how we present key information to our 1L class, and feedback has been great! Current 1Ls, remember to register for one (or more!) of the presentation options in Symplicity! (Private Practice February 26/27 and Public Interest March 4/5).
