During the school year, students are encouraged
to use the academic counselors for informal
discussions about the students’ undergraduate
background, career goals and concerns that the
student might have about their legal education.
Academic Counselors provide tutorials for
at-risk students, advise students of law school
expectations, motivate students in the pursuit
of their legal studies, assist students in their
development of effective study strategies, time
management skills and examination techniques,
and proctor special accommodation exams.
Academic Counselors are available for both the
day and evening divisions.
The Academic Enhancement Skills Programs
emphasizes clarity, organization and legal
analysis. The hands-on skill sessions uses
progressive exercises to demystify the exam
writing process and reinforces the practical
skills learned in academic assistance workshop.
The self-directed format allows students to
advance at their own pace as they gain
confidence in their study and exam taking
skills. Participation is mandatory for students
with academic probation status and voluntary for
others.
