After the first year, students take a regular full-time load, extending slightly, where appropriate, the amount of time required to complete the degree program. If, in the judgment of the Committee on Admission, the applicant does not qualify for consideration through the Special Admissions Program, the applicant will automatically be considered under the regular admissions process. The concern of the School of Law extends through graduation and admission to practice of qualified individuals. For that reason, the school's Academic Support Program offers tutorial assistance in conjunction with the Special Admissions Program. Additionally, throughout their first year, the students participate in weekly tutorials for each substantive law class.
Heavy emphasis is placed on analytical and writing skills.
Both faculty and continuing students aid the new students in mastering techniques of legal study and substantive course work.
