Look here for all the important dates for August and September. It is a great list of receptions, speakers, events, and (of course) facutly meetings.
A full calendar has been distributed by email and will be posted to the Law Faculty Wiki page: http://lawfacwiki.unl.edu/ (There is a story in this Newsletter about the Wiki if you want to learn more.)
We will talk about this more at the faculty meeting, but I wanted to mention two speaker series this year. First, we have invited five speakers from Big 10 law schools to give faculty colloquia this year. Second, we are planning a series of informal talks by Nebraska law faculty for students and faculty, which we hope will be a chance for the Law College community to gather and hear about our scholarship in a relaxed setting. These "S.T.I.R." talks (Share. Think. Inspire. Relax.) are modeled on the TED talks (http://www.ted.com) and will last no more than 15 minutes, followed by food and refreshments. I hope you will support these opportunities to bring the faculty community together.
