AUWCL Orientation 2023

Welcome to AUWCL! All orientation information is available on this site.

Fireside Chat with Dean Fairfax & AUWCL Alumni (Optional)

Dean Roger A. Fairfax, Jr. will lead a session underscoring the importance of faculty scholarship at AUWCL. A few of our world-renowned faculty – recently rated in the top-50 for scholarly impact – will share a “big idea” explored in their research and explain why it is relevant to the world in which we live.
Location Grossman Hall  

Evening Sessions Location

All sessions will take place in NT01 and attendance is required at all evening sessions. Dinner will be provided outside NT01 beginning at 5:30pm each day.

Complementing your Education:
Mental Health Resources & Accomodations
By the end of this session, students will understand the resources available to them for mental health and disability support and the process by which they can access them. This session equips students with the tools they need to seek out support in advance, so it is there should they need it.
Success, Not Stress: Winning Study Strategies

Law school is a unique challenge that demands a strategic approach to learning well. By the end of this session, students will be trained in proactive approaches to information and time management, class preparation and participation, and course outlining.
Extracting, Synthesizing, and Applying Rules
By the end of this session, students should be able to identify the key components of legal reasoning, explain how legal reasoning is used in doctrinal and skills courses, and situate rule synthesis and legal reasoning as a bridge from classroom to learning to exam performance. 
Student Ambassador Peer Session

These informal sessions will be led by upper-level AUWCL student ambassadors – no faculty or staff allowed. This is your opportunity to get information from and ask questions to current AUWCL students who have recently been in your shoes.
