Etiquette
Quick Tip: The Bread Plate
The
bread plate is located in the upper left corner of the place
setting. The bread plate is for bread and butter. You
may also place items from a relish tray on your bread plate, such as
radishes and olives. The bread plate may not be used as a weigh
station for things from your dinner plate that you do not care for,
such as fish bones, gristle or icky mushrooms. What happens on
the dinner plate stays on the dinner plate. In the absence of
a bread plate, place your roll on the upper left side of your dinner
plate.

This
Week’s “Hot Job”: Announcement
of the 12th Annual Reinberger
Honors Program in Prosecution Summer
2010 The
College of Law is pleased to announce the
availability of ten Reinberger Honors Program in Prosecution
fellowships for College of Law students in the amount of
$5,000 for summer of 2010. The goal of the Program is to attract
outstanding students to careers in prosecution. The Program offers
each student selected an opportunity to prosecute real criminal
cases in the jurisdiction of his or her choice. Over the past 11
summers, more that one hundred twenty student participants have
tried cases, negotiated pleas and interviewed victims and witnesses
in over forty cities that include New York, Washington D.C., San
Francisco, Fort Lauderdale, San Diego, Seattle, Los Angeles, Phoenix
and most jurisdictions in the northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.
The
program will run from May 17 through July 16, 2010. During the first
week, May 17 to May 21, law faculty and prosecutors from the
Toledo area will train students at
the Law Center in prosecutorial
skills. For the next eight weeks students will work in prosecutor
offices. To be
eligible to participate, a student must have successfully completed
the course in Evidence prior to the summer of 2010 and must satisfy
the requirements of the student practice rule of the jurisdiction in
which the student plans to serve his or her placement. To qualify
for an Ohio placement, the Ohio student practice rule requires that
a student 1) have completed 2/3 of credit hours required for
graduation – 59 credit
hours, and 2) have filed with the Supreme Court of Ohio, a $25 fee,
a statement of agreement to supervise by a supervising prosecutor
and an application for the Legal Intern Certification (see the
Registrar’s Office). Michigan requires completion of
the first year of law school without any further application
process. To
apply, students should submit to Professor Robin Kennedy by email at
robin.kennedy@utoledo.edu, or
fax at 419-530-4447, or by hand delivery to Law Center Room 2008E,
the following: 1) a cover
letter stating the student’s interest in the program, the prosecutor
office or locale (county, state, or city) to which he or she wishes
assignment, and a statement of his or her criminal record (a
criminal record does not necessarily disqualify a student from
participation); 2) an
unofficial law school transcript; and 3) a
current resume. Applications
are due by 5:00 p.m. Friday, October 23, 2009. The tentative date for
Interviews will be
Wednesday, October 28, 2009 by Douglas Ray, Dean of the
College of Law, Robin Kennedy, Associate
Professor of Law, and Dean Mandross, Chief of the Criminal Division,
Lucas County Prosecutor’s Office. For more
information contact Associate Professor Robin Kennedy at
419-530-2944 or at robin.kennedy@utoledo.edu
