UMass Law: Parents Attending Law School

We hope that everyone is staying safe, staying well, and staying home!

With that being said, if anyone needs anything, (from toilet paper to educational resources for yourself or your children) please don’t hesitate to reach out! ❤️

Hey Everyone! Please find and join our new FACEBOOK GROUP for member discussions! We will be using this (existing) page for advertisement and community events! Thanks!

UMass Law: Parents Attending Law School updated their phone number.

I am pleased to announce our new PALS president Erynn Gifford (Carter's mommy) for 2020-2021! Please join me in congratulating Erynn! 👏

Congrats our PALS member Laura Trevino for making the law review!!! Way to go and we are so proud of you!!! 🎉🥳🎊🥂

Hey parents! Sorry it’s been so long for activity on this page! I’m finally done with finals and can breath (I think 🤔) until the grades come out...😳

In any event, I wanted to let you know I have several 1L, 2L and elective books including:

religion and law,
prof responsibility with prof Drew,
crim pro,
Crim law with prof Farber,
Evidence with prof Farber,
Evidence rule book
UCC + code book (only if I passed the class 🙄🤦‍♀️😳)
Clickers for Janice questions! (Same as above)

I am happy to circulate the books to other PALS members so please feel free to reach out! Full disclosure they have notes in them but I find the notes helpful(you may possibly too) and I don’t care if you write your own notes on them!

Happy holidays and for some of you still taking the finals, GOOD LUCK 🍀👍!!!!

Happy happy birthday our PALS VP, Danny Picketts! Wishing you a fabulous day with your beautiful family~
🥳🎂🎁

Happy happy birthday to Kristiana, our PALS 1L member! Wishing you lots of life’s sweet moments with your 3 beautiful children, friends and family! 🎂 🎉 🥳

Happy Halloween 🎃 👻 Everyone!!!

Hey PALS! Our alumni are trying to get a play area for parents at the law library! 👏🙏 (We need permission, space allowance, and $$ so it’s on the wish list) 🤞In the mean time I’m wondering would getting a portable pack and play at the law school help parents with younger children? We can move it to the library/classrooms wherever. Thoughts??

We are officially reactivated! Below are the board members for 2019-2020. As mentioned previously we are not trying to do anything major soon (although ice cream social or some sort of social would be great!). We welcome ideas from members as to what you guys are looking for and want from the group. For now, let’s celebrate being active again! 👏✌️🙏

President- Christina Suh
Vice President - Daniel Picketts
Secretary- Alyssa Parker-Szabo
Treasurer- Christpher Cappucci

Dear Alums in the group, can you share tips for attacking UCC? Any advice would be most appreciated!

Sorry for the late notice but better late than never!

Smile its Friday and there is a Family Fun Carnival this weekend! 🎡🎢 Check out the link for https://bit.ly/2m37M1b

Here is the PALS Constitution as well. For those interested in running for office please post your interest!

A PALS member wanted me to survey other parents to see what PALS would need/want at the school. For instance, do we need babysitters? Childcare referrals? Stuff to do with other law school parents that don't involve drinking? Network with 1Ls and upper class/alumni? We also thought of doing skype meetings in the past if anyone is open to skype. Or should we keep it to an online forum for now?

I have also attached what PALS did in the past for your reference(thanks, Felicia Carboni!). Let me know if anyone wants to do any of the previous events.

Your opinions and suggestions are most welcome!

Hi everyone~ we are looking to reactivate Parents Attending Law School (PALS) and the online PALS community. I hope to use this page to assist with currents and alum PALS to socialize, provide support, and a forum to interact with each other. Suggestions are welcome!
