Important Law School Links/Tips/Tricks

MYNEU (http://www.myneu.neu.edu/) This is the site that contains all things administrative -- email, tuition bills, husky card balances, health insurance, etc. Definitely one to put in your "favorites."

WEBOARD (https://weboard.slaw.neu.edu/) This is the main communication board for all things law school. I recommend getting in the habit of checking it frequently. Most questions can be answered somewhere on WEBoard. Take 15-20 minutes to browse around, check out the links, and read the posts. It can be a pain at times, as it isn't the best format, but that aside, you should learn to love it. You can find meeting times, class announcements, event information, and most importantly, BAR REVIEW location and time! (SBA sponsors a "bar review" every other Thursday at a local bar. These events are quite popular and are a great way to forget about law school for a few hours and meet new people.)

BLACKBOARD (http://blackboard.neu.edu/) This is another online tool used by many law school professors. LSSC is depending on Blackboard heavily this year and our law office will have its own homepage. Use your NEU login to access the main page, which will list all of the classes you are enrolled in that are utilizing Blackboard. (Just FYI - my first semester, LSSC was the only class to use this, so don't worry if that is all you see.) There should be a link for the General LSSC page and Law Office 11 page. Let me know if you are having any trouble.

LAW LIBRARY (http://www.slaw.neu.edu/library/) Access the library's homepage here to find hours, numerous research tools, and old exams. You will have a library orientation so don't worry if most of the links don't mean anything to you now.

MASTER CALENDAR (https://jefferson.slaw.neu.edu/cgi-bin/view/webevent.cgi) This is the link to the law school's master calendar. The format has changed this year, and apparently you can look up events/speakers/exams as well, but for the most important dates (days off!!) select "Academic Calendar" and scroll through the months.
