Subject: Happy Monday, OutLaw!


Hi, everyone!

Good morning and happy Monday, OutLaw! It was great to see all of you at our general body meeting last week! Shoutout to Jam for carrying all those pizzas all over campus. During the meeting, we conducted elections for 1L Section Representatives. Due to the large amount of qualified candidates who wrote very thoughtful responses to the Interest Form, the e-board decided to have multiple representatives per section this year. Congrats to all of our new 1L section reps! From Section A, we have Abigail Soriano and Skyler Bennet! From Section B, we have Connor Hamill and Megan Peterson! Lastly, but certain not least, we had a three-way tie for Section C, making Gabriel Moura, Bryn Montierth, and Josh Palackal our section reps! Thank you to all who participated.

Our Mentor/Mentee Reveal Meeting is today at 1:00 pm in room 204! There will be lots of sweet treats and tea!! Make sure to stop by. If you have registered for a mentor or a mentee and you will be unable to attend, please let a board member know so that we can alert your match!

OutLaw OUTline Bank Request! OutLaw is (still) in the process of updating our OUTline bank for all of the new 1Ls!! Please fill out this form to add your outlines from previous doctrinal courses. Outlines from 2L and 3L courses are also encouraged! Check out a sneak peek of our outline bank here. If any 1Ls have any questions about outlining, feel free to reach out!

I hope everyone has an amazing and academically enriching week! Please reach out to a member of the board if you have any questions, concerns, or any pressing tea! Now, here is what is coming up for events:
