VALS’ Fourth annual Street Law Program

Where: Overfelt High School, 1835 Cunningham Ave, San Jose, CA 95122

Time: Varies according to class period (see the sign-up sheet for more details)

Street Law brings volunteers (law students, attorneys, and anyone else who'd love to get involved) into high school classrooms to teach the students about the 4th Amendment and individuals' rights

against unwarranted searches and seizures. This 3-day event culminates in a mock trial in which the

high school students will get the opportunity to prosecute, defend, or act as jury in a 4th Amendment

case.

This year, we have 2 high school classes participating in this program! We'd like to have 2-4 volunteers for each class to ensure we provide the students with a great experience.

If you would like to volunteer for the program, please sign up for a class (or classes) HERE.

The sign-up form includes additional information regarding participating classes and times. ALL class

levels are welcome to volunteer! In previous years, volunteer slots have filled up soon after this notice

so if you would like to participate, please sign up soon!

NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT IS NEEDED!

You have 2 appointments: the first for 6 units, the second for the remainder.

If you have registration issues, contact Law Student Services at 408-554-4766 between 8:30 AM- 5 PM.

After hours, leave a message or email lawstudentservices@scu.edu.

Have a plan B if your desired classes are closed - register for your back-up schedule.

Put yourself on the wait list for the classes you want. *

Full time students must be registered for 12-17 units.

Dear Rumor Mill, As I sit here in my 10 pm Law of Sidewalk Repair class, I can’t help but wonder why I keep getting such terrible registration appointments. Did I somehow offend the system manager? Maybe I cut her off one day while driving on campus? How can I remedy this situation? Do you accept bribes? Chocolates?? Sincerely, Last Appointment Leslie Dear Leslie,

Appointments are randomized by the computer and you, apparently, have been un-

lucky. Students register according to the number of units completed and their divi-

sion. You have 2 appointments, which will hopefully give you the opportunity to get

some classes that you want. In the meantime, register right at your appointment date

and time, get the best schedule you can, put yourself on waitlists and if your schedule is

absolutely horrible send us an email. We do a really good job of clearing waitlists and

will keep trying. Sorry.

* Registration wait list procedure:

Have a plan B if your desired classes are

closed; register for your back-up schedule.

Add your name to the wait list for any closed

classes you are interested in. The wait list

process is the only way to become eligible

for enrollment; professor approval does not

bypass the wait list process.

Check your SCU email for any updates.
