The tutors meet regularly with the ASP participants to work on class preparation, case briefing, synthesizing course materials and exam-taking skills. ASP also sponsors academic programs available to the entire first-year class. We believe that each student has the potential, not merely to complete the legal curriculum, but, more importantly, to move on after graduation to be a skilled lawyer who will be useful to society. Participants of this program are considered based on criteria of number of years away from formal education and past academic experience from the admissions profiles which have often correlated to certain difficulties experienced in the first months of law school work. With these indicators available to us, we invite students to participate in the Academic Support Program because of its focus on study strategies that are particularly useful in the first year of law school.
Participation is totally voluntary.
