The Law Center is a real community. Doors are open, and contact with students, staff, and faculty is encouraged. The design of the Law Center building, made cohesive by a central square from which wide corridors lead, promotes chance conversations. There are no separate dining rooms, library facilities, or lounges for faculty or staff. Our professors can and do laugh at themselves.
First names carry, both ways.
Respect is earned, not assumed. Shared responsibility starts with simulations and extends to work for real clients in real cases. You will have the freedom to design your own course of study by supplementing elective courses and seminars with externships and independent studies of your own creation. Our career counseling service is set up to help you link your own strengths, prelaw training, and experience with your Law Center training and personal objectives for life after law school. The faculty will encourage and expect you to take responsibility for putting together an education that makes sense for you.
