Welcome to Nebraska Law! We are looking forward to your arrival, the start of classes and welcoming you to the legal profession. This edition of the Sounding Block introduces you to several aspects of the first-year curriculum and the first-year faculty. You will see that you will be taught by experienced and dedicated teachers who are also pursuing active and interesting research and scholarship. I hope you enjoy the last few weeks of summer and remember that in addition to the information you are receiving in the mail, we will provide you with all of the information that you need during Orientation on August 16th & 17th. Until then, check out Nebraska Law's 1L page at http://law.unl.edu/first-year-student-information.
