Work While Attending Law School

The Law School requires students enrolled full time to devote substantially all of their working hours to the study of law.

Students may not accept any employment during their first year of law school. 

In the second and third year, students may not work more than twenty hours per week during the academic year.  Second and third year students should seek approval from the Registrar’s Office prior to undertaking any employment.  Students should also inform the Registrar’s Office of any employment outside the Law School, as this office regularly compiles employment statistics. 

If a student is on academic probation, the student may be prohibited from continued employment during the academic year.
