Student FLAC societies are run by students with the support of a qualified lawyer. For students who want to get involved in using their growing legal skills to help others, joining a student FLAC Society is a great way to become more socially active and aware.
You can get in touch with any of the FLAC societies via the social media links (Ctl+Click on the icons) or email addresses below. If you have any further questions, please email soci...@flac.ie.
The UCD SLS provides free legal information to UCD students, training for society members from legal professionals and academics and runs a number of careers advice, exam prep, social and other activities throughout the year.
Connecticut College students are actively engaged in global communities both domestically and internationally and strong language skills are encouraged. Not only does the study of world languages and cultures foster critical thinking skills, it also helps develop the ability to empathize, communicate and collaborate with others from diverse cultures in their own language. With generous grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the College has been able to enhance the language curriculum. Information technology has been integrated into language classrooms and opportunities to put languages beyond English into use in a variety of disciplinary contexts expanded.
(FLAC) is a national initiative aimed at enhancing language competence by employing content-based language instruction in a wide variety of academic disciplines in conjunction with traditional language classes. The overarching goals are to increase global competencies, to make the curriculum more international, and to enhance opportunities for language learning. First piloted in the early 1990s through a grant from the US Department of Education, the FLAC program at the College has gained significant momentum in the past five years, both in terms of the numbers of faculty participants and the reach of the program across all four divisions of the College. Currently, 20-25 courses are taught each year with FLAC sections, in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. Administrative oversight for the program resides in the Office of Global Initiatives.
A FLAC course consists of a regular 4-credit content course taught in English with an extended hour of instruction conducted in a second language. For example, Professor Eileen Kane teaches Soviet Union and its Legacies" with an additional FLAC section in which students discuss course topics and examine primary sources in Russian.
We are the Freshman Leadership Advisory Council. We are the over-arching body of the eighteen official FLOs. Since FLOs are members of FLAC, we coordinate recruitment between them, create events, establish rules, and uphold standards to ensure every FLO provides a quality experience.
FLAC is not a FLO. We are a staff of a few members to keeps things running smoothly throughout the year.
Many FLOs choose to focus on specifics aspect of university life, such as a specific college or interest. FLOs also uniquely interact through All-FLO events, which are social gatherings, competitions, and service events that occur throughout the year.
Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Bridget Mary McCormack hosted a virtual swearing-in ceremony on May 29 for student attorneys in Wayne Law's Free Legal Aid Clinic (FLAC). Eight students took the Lawyer's Oath and had an opportunity to introduce themselves to McCormack before the ceremony began.
FLAC is a student-run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, legal aid organization established by Wayne Law students in 1965. For more than 50 years, FLAC has provided Wayne County's elderly and indigent populations with quality legal representation. In this time, the organization also has provided countless Wayne Law students with a unique learning experience.
The overall objective of the FLAC program is to give Cornell students an opportunity to practice and develop their fluency in the target language. FLAC courses are aimed at students whose fluency is at an intermediate level or above.
I have been greatly impressed with my students' ability to understand and interpret original Cold War documents, which are complex in both expression and in terms of the historic discourse in which they were created, says senior lecturer Raissa Krivitsky, who is teaching the Russian FLAC class associated with the Government course, Reading about the Cold War.
In spring 2016 a total of 81 students are enrolled in Arabic, Mandarin, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Latin, Russian, Spanish, and Yoruba FLAC courses at Cornell. The courses average 6 to 7 students per class and are focused on active discussion in the target language.
Demand for FLAC courses is strong among both faculty and students across the university. Next year, the program will likely expand to include courses in the Law School and Industrial and Labor Relations. Cornell may also add new languages into the FLAC offerings, including French, German, Modern Greek, Hebrew, Portuguese, and Swahili.
FLAC courses are particularly appropriate for students who: are preparing for, or returning from, study abroad; appreciate literature and the power of language; enjoy analyzing original texts; or are considering graduate study that requires the use of foreign language in reading and research.
Requirements
To be eligible to participate in FLAC courses, students should have proficiency in a foreign language equivalent to at least the fourth semester of college study. Students who successfully complete the foreign-language component in two FLAC courses will earn Applied Foreign Language Certification on their St. Olaf transcript.
Course Descriptions
FLAC courses span the curriculum. Since 1989, foreign-language components have been developed for courses in a variety of disciplines (including history, religion, economics, art, psychology, chemistry, and math) and in a variety of languages (Chinese, French, German, Norwegian, Russian, and Spanish). Not every FLAC course is available every year; and new courses are developed periodically. Students should consult the roster of FLAC options available each semester in the Class and Lab Schedule.
The UF Center for European Studies holds annual competitions for Foreign Languages Across the Curriculum (FLAC) Course Development Grants, open to UF faculty and eligible UF graduate students, in the following European languages: Arabic, Czech, French, German, modern Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish.
Graduate student grant recipients will be hired as a TA with stipend and an in-state tuition waiver for the semester in which the course is taught. Students must provide a letter from their Graduate Coordinator confirming that they are eligible for UF funding and to teach their own course.
The purpose of this feature is to provide support to facilitators in the planning, development, and execution of a Field Leadership Assessment Course (FLAC) portion of the L-280 course. The FLAC is intended to provide an opportunity for the students to practice the leadership, communication, and teamwork concepts covered during the first day classroom portion of the L-280 course. A well planned FLAC is essential for a successful course.
The FLAC is where it all starts to come together for L-280 students-where theory meets application. The FLAC provides an opportunity for cadre and students to have fun while providing a learning and self-discovery environment in the context of what firefighters do every day. The FLAC is a series of problem solving events where students, working in small teams, practice the concepts that were presented in their reading assignment and classroom session.
The intent of the FLAC is to give students the opportunity to apply lessons from the classroom instruction in order to do some self-assessment regarding their positive and negative leadership traits. The FLAC also is intended to help fire managers develop quality leadership in their workforce by providing a method to assess individual competence for handling small teams that have been charged with accomplishing a task under conditions of stress.
FLAC is an independent voluntary organisation that offers free legal advice to the public, promoting equal access to justice for everyone. There are currently eight student FLAC societies (including Griffith College) operating in universities around Ireland. Student FLAC societies are run by students with the support of a qualified solicitor or barrister. The main purpose of student FLAC societies is to operate information clinics where the student population can come and receive once-off legal information from qualified practitioners who supervise law students. For students who want to get involved in using their growing legal skills to help others, it's a great way to become more socially active and aware.
On Tuesday 26th April, the student FLAC panel at Griffith College hosted a virtual 2-hour conference attended by a wide range of students, alumni and staff, where they discussed the following five topics:
The student FLAC researchers presented the different legal topics, with a Q&A session after to encourage attendee interaction. The purpose of the conference was to provide attendees with general information on a wide range of legal topics and recent developments.
There are 12 participating members on the Griffith College student FLAC panel. The panel includes students from both campuses, Dublin and Cork, and across all law programmes, the Diploma in Legal Studies and Practice, LL.B. (Hons) and LL.M. The student FLAC panel is guided by Siobhan Clabby BL, extracurricular mentor with the Law Faculty at Griffith College. In preparation for the conference, Siobhan guided the students in their research, drafting and organization of the event while offering advice on how to effectively deliver their presentations.
