Counseling Counseling One of the outstanding features of the Law School is its small size, which gives students the opportunity to get to know each other, the faculty, and the administration.
Counseling can also take place in more structured contexts.
Since each of the six research and writing sections is taught by a full time member of the faculty, students in the section often seek out their instructor to discuss many aspects of their law school experience. The Director of Academic Support works closely with students and faculty to assist students with exam preparation, legal writing, and the study skills necessary to succeed in law school. In addition to individual advising sessions, the Director of Academic Support organizes group presentations on a variety of topics such as first year examinations, selecting a first year elective and putting together a curriculum in the second and third year. Finally, a student can always turn to the counselors at the University's Student Counseling and Resource Service, for professional and confidential help and guidance, should the need arise. All in all, students at the Law School can rely on a network of informal and formal systems to guide and support them during their time in school.
