1L 法院律师事务所 – Academic Success Sessions

To help ease the transition into the rigors of law school, all first year students participate in ASP Sessions with their 法院律师事务所. The sessions are led by the Director of Academic Success (教授鸟鸣声) and the ASP Mentors. Our ASP Mentors are high-achieving second and third year law students, who have been selected and trained to provide skills assistance and peer support for students during their first year of law school. In the Core Skills Sessions curriculum each session builds on the previous session. Our sessions cover such topics as: Time Management, 备课, 做笔记, 概述, and How to Write a Law School Exam Answer.

ASP导师办公时间

ASP Mentors hold Office Hours each semester that are intended to connect 1Ls with top-performing 2Ls and 3Ls who had the same 1L professors. Office Hours provide 1Ls an opportunity to ask those mentors how they conquered their 1L classes as well as an opportunity to ask substantive questions about the material they have been learning.

 

个别辅导

教授鸟鸣声 – Director of ASP – provides individual tutoring for students requiring additional assistance. These individual sessions help students succeed on their law school exams by focusing on specific skills, 比如阅读理解, 提纲起草的回顾, 或者练习写考试答案. If you need individual tutoring, please email birdsong@daily-double.com.
