There are a few items that will require your attention. The first of which is the phonetic pronunciation of your name. It is important that we pronounce your name correctly. Even if you think your name is a simple one, please update your profile to include your phonetic and audio-recorded pronunciation. This is a two-part process; first, enter the phonetic pronunciation of your name, then record your name. Detailed instructions on how to record your phonetic name can be found at https://finance-admin.law.columbia.edu/content/name-recording and listed in the notes section below.
The first thing you may want to do is update your emergency contact information. Please add at least one emergency contact in the emergency field. This information will only be accessible by authorized administrators of the Law School and used only in an emergency. Click on an emergency contact link and use the "Add," "Edit," or "Delete" links to update your contacts accordingly. Also, please remember to click "Save" each time you edit a field that has a "Save" button.
Another field that may need updating is your address information. If this field is incomplete, please complete it. Enter your permanent home and local home phone numbers. You have the option of withdrawing your local home phone number from the online student directory as well. If you would like to suppress your address from the online student directory, please uncheck the box that reads, "Show this address in online student directory."
Let's take a look at another field that may need updating. Whenever your phone number changes, please make sure to update your phone information.
There are a number of other features available in LawNet, but probably too many to go over in this brief tutorial. You can visit each feature of LawNet and view an instructional video on each feature. Please visit the remaining fields in your profile and determine if updates are needed.
Last but not least, please remember to sign out of LawNet when you are done using its services.
