Student Bar Association sponsors lectures
Basic legal rights and remedies will be
the topic of a series of free lectures spon
sored bv the University Law School Student
Bar Association beginning Wednesday.
People's Law School, which will host
the series, is a community education pro
gram created to provide basic legal informa
tion for those? who may not be? able to pur
chase? that information, said Edward
Gerdes, PLS co-director.
The students felt that they had a respon
sibilitv to the community to give back some
of the knowledge they are learning to the
community.” Gerdes said.
"PLS also gives law students an oppor
tunity to express what they have learned in
a setting which is beneficial to understan
ding how legal theories are applied in prac
tical settings.” said jill Allyn. PLS co
director.
Because People’s Law School teachers are
law students, law prohibits them from giv
ing specific legal advice. Gerdes said.
However, teachers can explain what
specific rights the law provides.
Now in its 16th year, the program is be
ing offered after a one-year absence. PLS.
which has been in planning since August,

really dependent on making the
correct choices as to what
you’re going to put off.” she
said.
Students who get a handle on
procrastination are more likely
to graduate, or at least to “get
through life more gracefully,”
she said. "It will be the dif
ference between getting what
you want or not.”
There are eight styles of pro
crastination, and most people
fit into at least three of the
categories. Cornyn-Selby said.
“We say procrastination and
we think it’s this huge thing.”
she said. “You need to find the
definition that fits you.”
The action-junkie pro
crastinator. the perfectionist
procrastinator, the crazy
making procrastinator and the
"nice” procrastinator are some
of the eight procrastinating
styles.
There are benefits to each
style of procrastination, so
Cornyn-Selby does not recom
mend giving up putting things
off, but instead recommends
understanding and modifying
styles of procrastination, she
said.
For example, the action
junkie procrastinator often puts
things off until the last minute
because it's more exciting,
Cornyn-Selby said.
"People say ‘I work well
under pressure,' ” she said. "A
lot of people can’t work well
unless they wait."
Because this type of pro
crastinator craves action and ex
citement, the procrastination
can stop if the person receives
action in other ways, Cornyn
Selby said.
Procrastination is one of the
worst forms of self-sabotage,
she said.
“It is, simply, when we say
we’re going to do something
and then we go about making
sure it doesn’t happen,” accor
ding to her book.
"People are sabotaging their
own efforts," Cornyn-Selby
said. “People will say they need
to lose weight while eating a hot
fudge sundae."
