Student Orientation Leaders
Lee Edward Brockington (Orientation Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: Finance & Economics (double major; minor in Accounting), Brooklyn College
Grad Degree(s) & School: Master of Public Administration (concentration in Non-Profi t and Governmental Manage-ment)
Hometown: Brooklyn, New York
Law school clubs/activities: ABA Law Student Division, 8th Circuit Lt. Governor for Diversity; Treasurer, Student Bar Association; Treasurer, UND Law Chapter, Federalist Society; President, Black Law Students Association; President, Public Interest Law Student Association
I came to UND Law because … of its intimate setting and access to professors.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: Prepare yourselves to enjoy the ride.
Sarah Kuntz (Orientation Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: B.A. (Political Science), North Dakota State University
Hometown: Devils Lake, North Dakota
Law school clubs/activities: Delta Theta Phi; Student Trial Lawyers Association; Moot Court; Kaplan RepresentativeI came to UND Law because … I am originally from North Dakota and I knew I wanted to practice law in North Dakota after I was done with school, so UND was the natural choice for me.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: Law school will probably be one of the hardest things you will ever do. However, it sounds crazy, but once you get used to the feelings of doubt, confusion, and exhaustion, everything starts to come together. So if you keep pushing forward and never give up, you will get through it!
Karlei Neufeld (Orientation Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: B.A. (double major, English and Criminal Justice), University of Manitoba
Hometown: Winnipeg, Manitoba
Law school clubs/activities: Law Women’s Caucus; Criminal Law Association
I came to UND Law because … fi rst of all, my sister graduated from UND School of Law in May 2013 and loved her experience. She really enjoyed the professors and appreciated the smaller class sizes, so I knew right away that would enjoy the community here at UND. I also appreciated the fact that it would give me the opportunity to have an American University Degree in addition to my Canadian Degree. I’ve always been interested in practicing internationally, and I feel that having the experience of attending both a Canadian and American University will be a defi nite asset. Plus, it’s only a 2hr drive from home – you can’t beat that!
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: Law school literally fl ies by! So stretch yourself out of your com-fort zone, meet new people, get involved, and most importantly – enjoy the ride!
Student Orientation Leaders
Dan Ringdahl (Orientation Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: Communications Studies and Business, Concordia College
Hometown: Glenwood, Minnesota
Law school clubs/activities: Journal of Law and Interdisciplinary Studies; Federalist Society
I came to UND Law because … the job security North Dakota offers is second to none. The class size is small enough to get to know everybody (including faculty), yet large enough to support a multitude of top notch organizations, publica-tions, moots, and events.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: Don’t be shy. Get to know not only your fellow classmates, but the upper-classmen as well. We’ve all been in your shoes and know that the 1L year is scary, so come make friends with us. I mean we are all future lawyers and we love to talk. In fact, here is my email address: [email protected]. Feel free to drop me a line about anything.
Olufemi Adisa (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: English, University of Ibadan (Nigeria)
Grad Degree(s) & School: M.A. (Public Administration), Hamline University
Hometown: Minneapolis, Minnesota (originally from Iwo, Nigeria)
Law school clubs/activities: Black Law Students Association
I came to UND Law because … of the low cost of attendance and the growing opportunities in the legal market in North Dakota.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: You might think you’re not ready, but as quickly as possible take advantage of opportunities to gain practical skills through externships, internships, clerkships and job opportunities.
Angela Beason (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: B.A. (Communications) & B.A. (Political Science), University of Alabama-Huntsville
Grad Degree(s) & School: M.A. (Communications; in progress/all but thesis), University of North Dakota
Hometown: Stevenson, Alabama
Law school clubs/activities: Law Women’s Caucus; Public Interest Law Student Association; Criminal Law Associa-tion; Student Trial Lawyers Association; Energy Law Association; Environmental Law Society; Phi Alpha Delta
I came to UND Law because … I was working as an undergrad student in an engineering research lab, doing computer programming and I became very bored in the offi ce and thought being a lawyer would make for a much more interesting workday.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: It’s okay to have no idea what you want to do with your law degree, and if you do know what you want to do, expand your mind to other possibilities because you have no idea what it’s actually like to practice in that area. You’ll fi gure it out, with experience and exposure.
Student Orientation Leaders
Lukas Croaker (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: Political Science (minor in Criminal Justice), North Dakota State University
Hometown: Kindred, North Dakota
Law school clubs/activities: President, Energy Law Association; BARBRI Representative; Clerk of the Exchequer, Delta Theta Phi Law Fraternity; Captain, Malpractice Bowl
I came to UND Law because … I am a North Dakota native and there is not state in would rather attend school. North Dakota has a booming economy with an abundance of career opportunities combined with the most kind, generous people around. And you cannot beat the lovely winters we have up in the great white North.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: Join organizations and get involved!! There is no better way to meet new friends than to join activities and organizations. You will be with your classmates for the next three years, get to know them now, they will come in handy! Friends and classmates will also be there to help you with school work and someday even help you land a job in the legal fi eld. Also, do not be afraid to go out once in a while, if you are constantly reading or studying, you will get burnt out and that does not benefi t anyone.
Kerina Edwards (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: Bachelor’s in Business Management, Park University (Kansas City, MO)
Hometown: I am from Missouri.
Law school clubs/activities: Law Women’s Caucus
I came to UND Law because … I got in-state tuition because ND is a veteran-friendly state.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: Law school is a more professional setting than undergraduate school, and it’s important for everyone to be respectful of everyone else (after all, we all got into the same law school). For the non-traditional students in the entering class, you can do this! I have gone through law school as a non-traditional student (and single parent), and I have made it. It is important to reach out if you need help. Make a schedule and stick to it. At times you will feel overwhelmed, but it really will be ok!
Student Orientation Leaders
Megan Flom (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: B.S. (Nursing), University of North Dakota
Hometown: Fargo, North Dakota
Law school clubs/activities: Criminal Law Association; Law Women’s Caucus; Malpractice Bowl
I came to UND Law because … I’m a born and raised N.D. girl who wanted to stay local. I have spent the past 10 years practicing as a Registered Nurse in N.D. and hope to practice Healthcare Law in N.D. after I graduate.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: Law school is a lot of work and it isn’t easy but you can certainly do it! Especially for those “older than average” students (I am 33), those who have been out of school for a few years, or for those of you that are parents (I am a mother of 3). I spent more time freaking myself out over things that now, looking back, were totally irrelevant.
James Grossman (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: Communications & Honors, University of North Dakota
Hometown: Bismarck, North Dakota
Law school clubs/activities: Criminal Law Association; Energy Law Association
I came to UND Law because … I am from North Dakota, the costs of attending are affordable, and the economy in North Dakota is booming.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: Don’t stress out, balance your time, and develop good study methods.
Kirk Knudsen (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: B.A. (Psychology), University of Manitoba
Hometown: Winnipeg, Manitoba
Law school clubs/activities: Canadian Law Students Society; Law School Hockey Team; re-organizing Sports Law student organization this year.
I came to UND Law because … I heard great things about the law school and UND from family friends that are alumnae of UND Law. I’m also interested in possibly working here in the United States after law school.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: Do not feel overwhelmed. I know it seems frightening at fi rst but once you get adjusted to the routine of classes and reading then it’s just about managing your time. Treat school like a job. Go to class and get your reading done and make sure to take time to have fun! You will burn out if you don’t take time every day to enjoy yourself.
Student Orientation Leaders
Austin Lafferty (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: Political Science, University of North Dakota
Hometown: Mandan, North Dakota
Law school clubs/activities: Phi Alpha Delta; Phi Delta Phi; Canadian Law Student Society; Law Women’s Caucus
I came to UND Law because … I plan on staying and working in North Dakota after I graduate, so I thought it best to learn where I hope to practice. It didn’t hurt that I love UND.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: Remember to nap. Half the stress in law school is self-induced. You have to remember to relax and take a step back. Plus naps are just awesome.
Mindy Lawrence (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: Psychology, University of North Dakota
Hometown: Park Rapids, Minnesota
Law school clubs/activities: Criminal Law Association; Law Women’s Caucus; Malpractice Bowl
I came to UND Law because … UND allowed me to get a great education at a reasonable price while still being able to live in a rural environment.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: Everything is going to feel like it doesn’t make sense at the beginning. That’s okay; soon enough, being able to think like a lawyer will become second nature to you.
Annique Lockard (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: B.S. (Criminal Justice), Minot State University at Bismarck State College
Hometown: Homer City, Pennsylvania / Bismarck, North Dakota
Law school clubs/activities: Law Women’s Caucus; Criminal Law Association; Honor Board; Journal of Law and Inter-disciplinary Studies; North Dakota Law Review
I came to UND Law because … I wanted a small law school for good interaction with professors that was located in a small town with fewer distractions. And a law school that was as affordable as graduate / professional schools can be. UND School of Law was also the law school closest to my support system and my family. I plan to practice in or around North Dakota and I realized how important the networking with colleagues was in law school for future practice in this area.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: You are going to be okay!
Student Orientation Leaders
David McCallum (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: A.A., Century College; B.A. (Political Science), Minnesota State University - Moorhead
Hometown: Mahtomedi, Minnesota
Law school clubs/activities: Federalist Society; Public Interest Law Student Association
I came to UND Law because … I am going to practice in northwestern Minnesota and eastern North Dakota.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: All of the fi rst year courses are important but Lawyering Skills should be the number one priority.
Ariana Meyers (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: B.A., Psychology & Family Social Sciences (University of Manitoba)
Hometown: Winnipeg, Manitoba
Law school clubs/activities: Canadian Law Students Society; Human Rights Society
I came to UND Law because … I wanted to attend law school in a small and close knit classroom environment and most importantly I felt at home when I toured UND Law.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: Law school can be and is a daunting experience especially in the beginning, don’t feel intimidated to ask a lot of questions of your professors and other law students. I found it most helpful to make a study schedule and stick to it. Treat law school as your job, once the work day is up, take time for yourself to relax.
Kylie Oversen (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: B.A. (Social Sciences) and B.S. (Social Work), University of North Dakota
Hometown: Killdeer, North Dakota
Law school clubs/activities: Law Women’s Caucus; Environmental Law Association; American Constitution Society; Native American Law Student Association
I came to UND Law because … I wanted to remain in North Dakota during and after school. UND Law provides a great and affordable education, offering a variety of courses that IM interested in, and has allowed me to gain connections within the legal community that I wouldn’t have gained from a larger school.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: You’ve made a great choice in coming to UND Law, but your fi rst year will be a challenge. Don’t be afraid to ask questions of upper classmates and don’t forgo your entire social life during your fi rst year. Relationships and caffeine will keep you sane.
Student Orientation Leaders
Nathan Svihovec (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: Business Administration and Human Resource Management (double major), Dickinson State University
Hometown: Watford City, North Dakota
Law school clubs/activities: Energy Law Association, Criminal Law Association
I came to UND Law because … I wanted the smaller class sizes and to make connections in the state in which I will practice law. Also, the majority of practicing attorneys in ND attended the UND School of Law.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: You’re far more intelligent than you may feel in the fi rst few weeks. Enjoy the time here because you are surrounded by great faculty, staff, and classmates and the time passes very quickly.
Jessica West (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: B.A. (Criminal Justice), University of Winnipeg
Hometown: Winnipeg, Manitoba
Law school clubs/activities: Canadian Law Student Society; Norway Program; Malpractice Bowl team captain
I came to UND Law because … close to home, good reputation, smaller class sizes, better hands on education than many Canadian universities.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: NOT THE SAME AS UNDERGRAD – different format different way of learning. Be prepared to bring books to class every day, and have reading done ahead of time. Get involved in as much as you can. Lean on the people around you.
Challis Williams (Small Group Leader)
Undergrad Degree(s) & School: Political Science and Criminal Justice, North Dakota State University
Hometown: Dickinson, North Dakota
Law school clubs/activities: Student Trial Lawyers’ Association; Criminal Law Association; Energy Law Association; Delta Theta Phi; BARBRI Representative
I came to UND Law because … it’s close to home and it’s part of a close-knit community.
What I’d like to tell the incoming students: Relax, have fun, and keep a balanced lifestyle. Yes, it may be diffi cult, but it isn’t anything that you aren’t equipped to handle.

Frequently Asked Questions -‐ Technology
This document may be found at http://libguides.law.und.edu/content.php?pid=483242&sid=3962136
1. How do I activate my official UND student email account?
• Important note: Your UND student email account is your official email account for the university and the law school to communicate with you.
STEP 1. STUDENT ID NUMBER
• You must have, and should already have, your UND Student ID number • If not, contact Laureen or Ben in the Student Life office:
Laureen Johnson, 701-‐777-‐2056, Twamley Hall, room 414A Ben Hoffman, 701-‐777-‐2260, Twamley Hall, room 416B STEP 2. CLAIM YOUR NORTH DAKOTA UNIVERSITY SYSTEM (NDUS) IDENTITY ACCOUNT
• Your NDUS Account (NDUS.Identifier) is what you will be using during your student experience at UND to access important services such as your student email account, academic records, Blackboard, the wireless network, and more
• Have your student ID number handy when claiming your account • Go to techsupport.und.edu and click on ‘Claim My Account’ • Follow the instructions presented – you will be prompted to take a short,
simple quiz as part of the account setup process
STEP 3. ACCESS YOUR STUDENT EMAIL ACCOUNT • Note: You must first have your NDUS identifier from Step 2 above before you
can access the student email system • Visit techsupport.und.edu and click on ‘Email’ to claim your email account
§ Here, you will find information about your email account, setting up your smart phone and other mobile devices, and more
§ The ‘Accessing Your Student Email Account’ drop-‐down provides instructions on accessing your email account
2. May I use my personal email account instead of the campus’ student email account?
• Yes! However, keep in mind that your campus student email account is your official email communications link between UND, the School of Law, and you. The School of Law will deem you to have received and reviewed any information and announcements sent to you through your student account, so you should check that account frequently even if you choose to use a different email account as your primary account.
o Instructions for redirecting your student email messages to another email account may be found at http://und.edu/tech-‐support/_files/docs/gettingstarted.pdf
o Be sure the email account to which you are redirecting your campus student email messages is set up so as to not block important messages!
3. How do I get on the wireless network with my laptop?
• First, you must have claimed your NDUS identity account (see FAQ item 1, step 2) • Next, your laptop must have anti-‐virus software that is active and up-‐to-‐date. If not, go to IT
Security (http://und.edu/cio/it-‐security/) and download free anti-‐virus software for use on your personal Windows or Macintosh computer by clicking on ‘Software Downloads & Purchases’.
• Once you have your NDUS identifier and your laptop is sufficiently protected from malware, you will be able to use it to log on to the campus wireless network. To access the wireless network:
§ Turn on your laptop wireless network connection (most current laptops activate the wireless network connection automatically, so this step might not be necessary)
§ Open a web browser (e.g., Firefox, Safari, IE, etc.) and attempt to access a web page § An authentication dialog box should appear. Enter your NDUS account credentials
(NDUS.Identifier and password). § Note: Upon first connection only, you will be required to install a small application,
SafeConnect, which is necessary to connect to the UND wireless network § Upon successful connection, your browser will be directed to the UND home page,
indicating successful logon 4. I cannot log into the wireless network using my NDUS account credentials. What do I do now?
• First, close all open applications currently running on your laptop, particularly those that may be trying to access the Internet (like a web browser, an email program, etc.). Reopen your web browser and give it a few seconds to connect to the SafeConnect server. If that doesn’t work…
• Contact the Computer Service Help Desk o In person in Strinden Center, room 126, o By phone at 701-‐777-‐2484, o By email at [email protected], o Submit a support ticket, o Or else…
• Contact UND Technical Support at 701-‐777-‐6305. They may need to reset your password.
5. Since the law computer lab is not available while the law school building is under construction, where may I go to use a computer? • Visit the General Purpose Computer Labs webpage at http://und.edu/tech-‐
support/students/computer-‐labs.cfm for a listing of computer lab locations throughout campus and for additional information about each lab. Ignore the entry for Law.
6. How do I print to network printers?
• For instructions and other information on how to print via uPrint, point your web browser to and then click on Printer (uPrint). uPrint student printing may be done from lab computers, public computers located throughout campus, or from your personal computer. While the law school building is under construction, ignore the selection ‘School of Law – Thormodsgard Law Library’ on the uPrint webpage.
7. Does the School of Law have electronic exams?

SCHOOL OF LAW CLINICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM

VOICE: (701) 777-2932 FAX: (701) 777-6301
CLINICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
The Clinical Education Program is the School of Law’s in-house Law Clinic, where students develop fundamental lawyering skills while representing clients under faculty supervision. This course serves as a bridge between law school and law practice.
Lessons in substantive areas of law are integrated with opportunities to further develop transferable skills that apply in any setting, including legal research, written communication, oral advocacy, and brief-writing. Students develop the ability to learn from experience, to collaborate, and to apply the rules of professional responsibility in the context of representing actual clients.
The Law Clinic is a graded, 7-credit course open to second- and third-year law students. Course requirements include casework, case team supervision sessions, and seminar classes. Students who enroll spend approximately 20 hours per week, on average, on Law Clinic course work, including class preparation and class time. Students should plan ahead to apply for this unique, limited-enrollment course.
Casework
Law Clinic students become certified under the student practice rule to represent real clients, handling all aspects of representation under faculty supervision: client interviewing and counseling, communicating with opposing counsel, drafting correspondence, development of case theory, drafting and filing pleadings, conducting research and writing legal memoranda, conducting and responding to written discovery, taking and defending depositions, conducting settlement negotiations, arguing and defending motions, and conducting trials before state, federal, and administrative tribunals.
Students are placed in either the Housing and Employment Law Clinic or the Immigrants’ Rights Clinic for purposes of client representation and supervision by faculty, but weekly class sessions are held as a combined class. Students learn not only from cases in their own subject matter areas, but also from class discussions on issues in cases being handled by other Law Clinic students.
2
While building their knowledge of employment law, immigration law, and housing law, students also learn to apply the federal and state Rules of Civil Procedure and the Rules of Professional Conduct. Law Clinic students engage in substantial legal research and learn to effectively distill applicable legal principles into well-crafted legal memoranda that guide decision-making on client matters.
Students interact with a variety of courts and administrative agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the North Dakota Department of Labor and Human Rights, and local housing authorities. Students learn about the roles of these agencies in enforcing state and federal laws. In addition, students may learn to litigate under the federal civil rights statutes, including suits against federal and state officials under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and claims brought under the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act (ADAA), the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the Fair Housing Act. These experiences assist students in narrowing their areas of interest as they contemplate career trajectories.
Case Team Supervision Sessions
Law Clinic students work in teams, and each team meets at least once a week for a formal supervision meeting with Clinic faculty, and may meet more frequently depending on case needs. The agenda for these small group class sessions is set by the students and includes an analysis of case preparation needs, potential strategies and decisions, and a review of case-related assignments and deadlines. Students learn how to take initiative in planning the direction of client legal matters.
Seminar Class Sessions
Law Clinic students also attend weekly seminar classes. Students are responsible for completing reading assignments for each class and for participating in class discussions about the materials. In addition, students participate in simulation exercises and role-plays during class to develop specific lawyering skills such as interviewing or taking depositions. Seminar classes also incorporate case rounds, where students present on the status of their cases and raise specific issues for analysis, reflection, and discussion among the entire class. These repeated exercises in oral presentation on legal issues develop both student competence and self-confidence.
