UMKC CLE is hosting its annual “The Time Is Now!” series lineup. The deadline to meet CLE credits is approaching fast, and UMKC CLE is offering multiple programs to meet the end-of-year needs for lawyers in Missouri and Kansas. Each hour is $45 with a $345 max fee that pays for as many hours as you would like to obtain. Don’t miss the programs this week in Overland Park and at the School of Law!
After continually advancing in competitions, including three national trial competitions this past spring, UMKC School of Law was invited to participate in one of the most significant tournaments in the nation. The Baylor Law School Top Gun National Mock Trial Competition is an invitation-only mock trial tournament where the best advocates from the top 16 trial advocacy schools compete for the honor of Top Gun. Blake D. Smith (J.D. ’17), with the assistance of Alison Stephens (J.D. ’17), placed third as a semifinalist.
UMKC School of Law has continued to seek to promote diversity and inclusion in the legal education field. The Office of Diversity and Inclusion at UMKC awarded the School of Law part of the 2017 Inclusive Excellence Grant to support two new diversity initiatives: Courageous Conversations and the Kansas City Youth Court pipeline program.
