42 Student Law. 32 (2013-2014)
Excelsior

handle is hein.journals/studlyr42 and id is 434 raw text is: 0-- Thank you for an incredible year. This year, the Law Student Division contin- ued to meet the needs of law students. New issues reared their heads, as they often do, and the Division addressed them directly. Overwhelmingly, students requested the ability to be paid and re- ceive class credit as an extern. The Divi- sion advocated on your behalf and made some progress. The Division leadership drafted and submitted a formal comment re- questing a change to this standard to the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar's Standards Re- view Committee (SRC). Students from across the country joined the campaign by completing our survey, liking our Facebook page, and sending e-mails. I advocated our position at a SRC Mathew Kerbis DePaul University College of Law Chair, ABA Law Student Division mathew.kerbis@gmail.com Excelsior! hearing. Following the ABA Midyear Meeting, the SRC recommended that the Section of Legal Education and Admission to the Bar revise the current standard to allow both credit and com- pensation for externs. The Section has circulated its revision for comment and will vote at the Section's June meeting. It will then submit its overall recom- mendation at the ABA Annual Meeting in August. We will continue to pursue all formal means at our disposal to change the accreditation standards to law students' benefit. This Division also ushered in the new national circuit restructure ad- opted last summer at the ABA Annual Meeting in San Francisco by the Divi- sion Assembly. Special thanks to the outgoing circuit governors who helped transition affected schools through the reorganization. While on the subject of the Division's leadership, I had the pleasure to work with an incredible team. The Division's Board of Gover- nors excelled in their leadership roles and volunteerism. The Division also owes much of its success to its lieuten- ant governors, national student direc- tors, and liaisons. We also welcomed new staff to the Division during this term. I have confidence in those who will take the reins in 2014-2015. I wish the best of luck to my fellow law school graduates as we become the next generation of great facilitators. I look forward to seeing everyone at the ABA Annual Meeting this August in Boston. Onward and upward!
