As you begin law school, it is important that you quickly adjust to the law school method of instruction and examination. Both instruction and examination differs drastically from the methods that you encountered in undergraduate or other graduate education. Intelligence alone is not enough to succeed in law school. Many students who fail to perform up to their potential do so because of lack of timely access to the "information stream" and "skill development" that is so essential to law school performance. The JD Project supports several programs designed to improve access to the "information stream" and consequently, students' adjustment and performance. Among the activities are:
|
