academic and bar exam support

The Office of Academic Excellence is available to all students for personal academic support. Students at all levels of academic performance can benefit from individual feedback on practice exams, study plans, time management, or study group effectiveness. We can also provide advice in study skills such as taking notes, briefing cases, outlining courses, and writing essay examinations. Our Legal Education Advisors can also assist with any aspect of preparation for the Bar Exam, from preliminary planning up through exam-day logistics.

Current law students may book no more than one law school skills or time management advising appointment per week (either in-person or over Zoom). Appointments may be booked up to two weeks in advance. 

Academic Planning

At AUWCL, we are proud of our rich curriculum and excellent faculty which allow for students to explore a multitude of areas and practice types. Whether you have a specific area of focus in law school or are looking for a more broad-based foundational legal education, you should make your curricular choices in consultation with experts. Sitting down with an academic advisor can ensure not just that you will be meet all of your AUWCL requirements in time for your projected graduation date, but also that you are able to craft the academic experience that is best for you and your career goals while maintaining an appropriate course load and work-life balance.
