Policies and Procedures

Full- and Part-Time Study   

A student at the law school may participate in either full- or part-time legal study. The full-time program must be taken during the day; the part-time program during the evening or during the day. The two divisions have fully comparable programs, and all full-time faculty teach in both divisions. Transfer between the two divisions requires permission from the Associate Dean.

Participation in full-time law study is restricted by an American Bar Association limitation on employment to no more than 20 hours per week for upper-class students and 15 hours per week for first year students. Full-time students must certify that they are complying with the Law School's restriction on employment. Any serious deviation from this standard may cause the Associate Dean to reassign a student from the full-time to the part-time division or impose another appropriate remedy.
