Incoming Students:
Because of the importance of access to networked communication in all aspects of student life and the extent to which the school relies on electronic communications, the law school strongly recommends that all entering J.D. and L.L.M. students own a portable (notebook or laptop) computer. A list of detailed specifications is available.
