Visitors immediately sense that our faculty are passionate about teaching. In the classroom, professors engage students in lively debate, challenging them to defend positions, and encouraging them to express thoughts and opinions.
Outside class, it is common to see students and professors meeting in hallways or working together in small groups. Faculty maintain regularly scheduled office hours, availing themselves to students for conversations about anything from classes and career objectives to personal issues. Students can also find faculty members at a number of social events, from the Dean’s Teas to informal pizza gatherings to sporting competitions.
The School of Law places a strong emphasis on collaborative learning and student-professor interaction. By fostering an open and comfortable atmosphere, we believe that students obtain a positive legal education while preparing to become highly effective legal practitioners.
