Academic Support

The Law School strives to provide a comprehensive academic support program to its students and to ensure proficiency by it students in all required course subjects. To that end, the Law School offers various opportunities for all students to enhance their academic skills and requires students whose academic performance suggests a need for additional coursework to take advantage of those opportunities. Those opportunities include:

• Advanced Legal Construction and Analysis.  The Advanced Legal Construction and Analysis Program focuses on improving students’ individual academic weaknesses and seeks to improve their organizational, writing, and study skills.  The Program involves individual and small group instruction with the Director of Academic Support and may, depending on common needs of students, take the form of a traditional classroom setting. 
• Mastering Legal Analysis. The Mastering Legal Analysis course is designed to improve students’ ability to deconstruct legal rules, to explain and evaluate the significance of facts, to thoroughly support conclusions of law, and to effectively organize content. These skills are critical in applying law to the hypothetical questions typical of both law school and bar exams. The hands-on learning methodology used in the course includes in-class analytical and writing work in both individual and group settings.
