Dear prospective student,

As we begin the holiday break, we wanted to send a brief reminder about our upcoming Early Decision application deadline this Sunday, December 1.  While we will continue to accept regular decision applications throughout the year, the Early Decision process affords candidates a special opportunity to confirm their commitment to attending Elon Law and receive an admissions decision by the start of the year.  In addition, those accepted through the Early Decision process will receive a scholarship decision in January, benefiting from being considered early in the awards cycle when scholarship funds are most available.  The Early Decision process is not for everyone, but it is perfect for applicants who are certain that Elon Law is their first-choice institution. 

Elon University’s schools of law and health sciences hosted a forum about the intricacies of determining individual “capacity” in legal and medical contexts.  

The Small Business & Entrepreneurship Clinic, In-House Counsel Externship Program and Semester-in-Practice Externship Program add to the law school's array of hands-on learning opportunities. 

Elon Law Professors Patricia C. Perkins and Catherine J. Wasson presented results of their preliminary research on the relationship between writing skills and law school success at the North and South Carolina Legal Writing and Research Colloquium, held at the University of South Carolina.  

Elon Law Professor Henry Gabriel recently presented at law schools in St. Louis, Japan and the United Kingdom, as well as publishing scholarship in the Journal of Arbitration Studies.

Elon Law Professor Tom Molony presented at a Nov. 7-8 symposium of Washington and Lee University School of Law. 

At an October 25 forum with John Fukunaga, Executive Vice President of the Corporate Legal department at Sony Pictures Entertainment, Elon Law students gained insights into pursuing a successful legal career.

Elon Law Professor David S. Levine recently presented at a conference on transparency in Paris and a conference on drones at NYU School of Law. He also continued his advocacy for transparency in fracking, wrote about NSA spying and net neutrality, and published insights about effective teaching and mentoring in legal education.
