Student life at the Law School reflects the urban setting and professional focus of the student body. Students are actively involved in the community and in a wide variety of law student organizations and groups. Through many of these groups, distinguished speakers from the nearby legal and academic communities participate in lectures, forums, conferences, and workshops. Informational programs, debates, recreational activities, and specialized employment programs also are offered.
Through University resources, such as the Hoffberger Center for Professional Ethics and the Office of Diversity Education, programming is offered on issues of professional ethics and cultural diversity. Students have the opportunity to be associates of the Hoffberger Center, developing programs of interest to them, and to be fellows in the Center for International and Comparative Law and Center for Families, Children & the Courts. The Center for Student Involvement offers student trips and discounted tickets to plays, musicals and area attractions. All of the university facilities and a variety of university services are available for student use. The facilities include an athletic club, bookstore and food service. Services include referral information for community housing, a student health insurance program, and accommodations for students with disabilities. The 38,000 square foot, five-story student center features a 200-seat theatre with panoramic city views, retail shops, student organization offices and areas for group study, recreation and quiet contemplation.
Other School of Law activities are part of the curriculum and allow students to learn while providing the friendship and support everyone needs while in law school.
