    Professor Burnham Named a National Leader in Diversity

We are proud to announce that Professor Margaret Burnham has been named 
to The National Jurist's 
<http://northeastern.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=50300d5ab8e534fcc3ad087a5&id=6632782d04&e=8c41de2a83> 
list of 20 law school faculty nationwide who have furthered diversity 
efforts in legal education. Professor Burnham, who founded and directs 
Northeastern University School of Law’s Civil Rights and Restorative 
Justice Project (CRRJ) 
<http://northeastern.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=50300d5ab8e534fcc3ad087a5&id=4ef33e125c&e=8c41de2a83>, 
was lauded for her leadership in deepening the lawyering skills required 
for effective civil rights practice. Students in the CRRJ Clinic learn 
the dynamics of “cause” lawyering and how to integrate legal doctrine, 
practice, and ethics.

Northeastern is a law school that fosters both a diverse student body 
and faculty, creating a welcoming environment that allows for a greater 
understanding of our differences and similarities. In a world that 
continues to struggle with crucial issues of equality, Northeastern 
strives to graduate legal professionals who understand what it takes to 
build a more just and equitable society.


    Survey Says: "Improving Society Makes Lawyers Happy – Not Money"

The School of Law's Outcomes Assessment Project (OAP) 
<http://northeastern.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=50300d5ab8e534fcc3ad087a5&id=b5b7dbec5c&e=8c41de2a83> 
was featured in a number of news outlets earlier this month. One piece 
of the OAP deals with exploring the impact of our unique experiential 
model 
<http://northeastern.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=50300d5ab8e534fcc3ad087a5&id=07d1c06a3a&e=8c41de2a83> 
on accelerating professional development, thus helping students and 
graduates to make better, more-informed career choices. Bloomberg BNA 
<http://northeastern.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=50300d5ab8e534fcc3ad087a5&id=cdb7155a5a&e=8c41de2a83> reported 
that Northeastern University School of Law alumni/ae value improving 
society more than making money: "Among all Northeastern graduates, the 
reasons for attending law school remained relatively the same over the 
four decades of graduates: helping individuals, improving society, and 
ultimately developing a satisfying career."


        Have You Heard? LSAC Requiring Photos for LSAT Beginning June 2016


        Earlier this month, the LSAC made the following announcement
        regarding a new photo requirement for the LSAT:

/Effective with the June 2016 LSAT administration, everyone wishing to 
register for the LSAT will be required to upload a photograph to their 
LSAC online account during the registration process. The photo will be 
inserted on the admission ticket, which must be printed out in order to 
gain admission to the test center. Admission tickets that do not display 
the uploaded photo will not be accepted on test day. Once a photo has 
been uploaded, it may be re-used for future tests, and for test date or 
center changes. In addition to the admission ticket, test registrants 
must produce a valid government-issued ID in order to gain admission to 
the test center.

Registration for the June 2016 LSAT will open in mid-December 2015. 
Additional details about uploading photos will be available on LSAC.org

at that time./
