Chat Sessions

Welcome to our College of Law chat room. We schedule chats periodically throughout the year, so check back often to see our upcoming chats.

Chat sessions are conversations where two or more people "talk" in real time by typing instead of speaking. You’ll find the communication to be quick and informal.

You can enter and leave a chat room at anytime during the session. Once you enter, feel free to watch and learn or jump in and type your question whenever you are ready.

These chats are in Wimba format, so once you enter the room be sure to adjust the size of the text box in the lower left hand corner by dragging the sides of the box up and to the right with your mouse.  That way you will be able to see the chat area more clearly.
