That's a Wrap!
University Media Services often hosts webinars for the Suffolk community for a number of departments on a variety of topics including Orientations, DEI initiatives, Professional And Career Development and Ford Hall Forums, to name but a few. This week, UMS hosted a webinar for Suffolk Law Character and Fitness MA Bar Prep Info session led by Kandace Kukas, Esq., Executive Director, of Massachusetts Board of Bar Examiners Session.
University Media Services continues its on-going support for the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court’s Oral Argument livestream. This month featured the landmark and public spotlight case of Karen Read where attorneys for Karen Read argued where the trial judge granted a mistrial on three indictments, the defendant was appealing the denial of a motion to dismiss two of the indictments, claiming that the jury had agreed to acquit the defendant on those two charges, even though there was no such verdict announced in open court.
Then, on Thursday was one of my personal favorite events of the year is the Veteran’s Day lunch where Suffolk honors their current students who are members of the armed forces and recognizes not only them, but alum as well, in their service to our country.
Keynote speaker was Suffolk Law Alum, Jay Tangney, Suffolk’s Construction’s General Counsel, responsible for overseeing the Legal Team and national ethics and compliance program. Jay also leads Suffolk Construction’s support of Veteran and military outreach through donations and volunteerism, as well as enhancing internal strategies and creating initiatives to recruit, honor, and support veteran employees. Jay also played an instrumental role in establishing the Suffolk University's Veterans Legal Service Project.
UMS, also assisted with The Data Privacy & Cybersecurity Law Association (DPCLA) at Suffolk University Law School, in collaboration with the Journal of High Technology (JHT) and the Legal Innovation & Technology Student Association (LITSA) with their event titled "Age of AI: The Role of Privacy & Legal Technology.”
