• Study Skills Workshops: designed to supplement the material conveyed during the Summer Program and academic orientation, these workshops cover such topics as techniques for managing time, briefing cases, outlining courses and preparing for and taking law school examinations. The workshops are open to all students although students who are admitted into the ASP are required to attend.

• One-on-One Advising: students to meet with Dean Gantt at least once during the fall semester to review students’ second trial exam from the Summer Program and discuss their academic progress during the semester. Advising meetings include a review of case briefs, outlines, and other student materials. (Click here to read more about one-on-one advising)

• Dean Gantt also conducts one-on-one meetings with students who are not in the ASP.

In addition to these official components of the ASP, Dean Gantt also directs the three-day academic orientation for all entering students and teaches a two-credit course entitled “Advanced Legal Reasoning, Analysis & Writing.” This course, which is open to students during their last year of law school, is designed to hone the logical, analytical, and writing skills students have developed during law school, and to teach students how to leverage these skills towards success in the bar examination and in their future legal careers.
