We are a public law school. So, we feel a reluctance to require laptops. Besides, there is not enough electricity in our classrooms at this time and few datadrops. My guess is that we will consider this question every year, but that it will take a different organizational structure, more computer services support, and better and more access to the law school network and Internet before we decide to require them. We do, however, recommend that students buy a laptop and we provide them with specs.
Students wish to make their own decisions.
We will review it again this year. There is considerable pressure from central administration to do so.
