The case method of study is the basic classroom
tool. Students study actual cases selected to illustrate particular
problems and the reasons for the solution.
Instructors lead the discussion of the case material
and present supplementary lectures. The discussions are designed
to aid the student in understanding the development of the law to
its current state, and to pose questions of current interest related
to particular problems under study. The student thus learns to develop
their own analytical abilities and to apply abstract principles
of law to real life legal problems. |

Preparation
of the study of law is varied. There is no particular recommended
pre-legal course of study. This is because the lawyer finds himself
involved with problems from all walks of life. His/her greatest
asset is the ability to read with understanding, to analyze and
express himself/herself with clarity. The adult student brings to
the study of law a wide breadth of experience and education. His
success in law school as well as in practice depends a large part
on his ability to apply this experience to the law. Discipline is
the cornerstone for success in the law field. Law school requires
dedication, determination, perseverance and advancement of long-term
memory skills. In order to succeed in law school, on the bar examination,
and as a practicing lawyer, the student must be committed to the
pursuit of excellence and perfection.
