Reminder Reminder
Dear Juniors and Seniors,
We have partnered with Career Services to give our junior and senior majors access to Wildcat Joblink. Wildcat JobLink is a state-of-the-art career management tool, offering UA students access to jobs, internships, and a range of other services including campus interview-ing and resume referrals.
To access JobLink, please visit the Career Services website at https://www.career.arizona.edu/joblink. All you need is your NETID and password to login and take advantage of these great services.
Why is SGPP only funding juniors and seniors to have access to JobLink?
The funding comes from SGPP Program Fees, which only our junior and sen-ior majors pay. If you are a freshman or sophomore, you are welcome to register and pay the annual $5 fee out of pocket. Visit https://www.career.arizona.edu/joblink to register.
I will be a junior at the end of the current semester. When can I have ac-cess?
SGPP will be requesting access for any students who have reached 60+ cred-its each semester after the census date (the 21st day of the semester). So, if you will have 60+ completed credits at the end of this semester, you will be granted access next semester after the census date.
If you have any questions, please email [email protected].

LAW & LAWYERING IN THE NATION’S CAPITAL
Law 596E/496E - Summer 2014
2 units - Graded
A Summer Law Course offered in Washington, D.C.
by the James E. Rogers College of Law
University of Arizona
INSTRUCTOR: Prof. David Yokum, J.D., James E. Rogers College of Law, [email protected].
Meeting time: Tuesdays, 6 – 9 pm, June 3 – July 29, 2014
Meeting Place: This course will meet at the Washington, D.C. office of Pillsbury Win-throp Shaw Pittman LLP. Room No. TBA. 2300 N Street, NW Washington, DC 20037-1122
Course Description
This course, offered in Washington, D.C., examines the role of law and lawyers in the functioning of the United States federal government, in particular with regards to the modern administrative and regulatory state. We will explore the tremendous power exercised by federal agencies - the ³headless fourth branch² of government, according to some commentators - as well as the significant constraints (legal and political) under which they operate. This is not, however, a broad survey of administrative law; we will instead sample a limited number of topics to study in depth, with the aim of under-standing how the law emerges from and shapes, for better or worse, the actual day-to-day functioning of the federal government.
The topics will be chosen as a function of current affairs and relevance to students con-currently enrolled in government-related internships or externships. During the second half of the course, students will present on their own summer work, thus affording an opportunity to further enrich the quality of their internship or externship experience.
To Register: Students registered at the University of Arizona may sign up through UAc-cess. Students from other educational institutions should contact Noora Balooshi for information as to who to register. [email protected], (520) 626-6054.
