Existing Resources

The Law School has a number of offices specifically designed to assist and advise students in numerous subject-specific capacities. Many of these offices have their own internal codes of conduct. Each is also available to resolve pertinent issues, even without invoking either formal process as defined in Part V or informal measures as defined in Part IV. The Law School website maintains a leadership page that provides information about who presently occupies leadership positions at the Law School and how to contact them.
