PROGRAM OF STUDY
The study of law requires an ability to analyze and organize complicated
fact situations. The law faculty assist students in learning how to
approach a complicated fact pattern either through the study of adjudicated
cases or the use of carefully constructed problems. Students are challenged
by the questions and comments of the professor and their fellow students
as they work with cases or problems. From time to time the professor
may clarify or lecture on some points of fact or law, but the ultimate
responsibility for developing the skills of legal analysis rests on
the student.
It is the student’s role to prepare the course assignments carefully,
to utilize the resources available in the law libraries, to attend
class and be prepared to actively discuss the assigned materials. In
class, students must analyze the presentation of their classmates,
compare the work of others to their own, and be prepared to respond
intelligently to the questions asked by the professor. Thus, students’ roles
are active ones, and the value of their legal education will depend
in large measure on the enthusiasm, dedication and responsibility with
which they approach their work.
