We recently welcomed one of the most diverse and academically talented classes in our history. The class of 2014 hails from 30 states – as far away as Alaska. Many grew up overseas in places like Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Trinidad, and Brazil. Almost a quarter of the class comes from racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in the legal profession, a new high for RWU Law.
Not only does this class bring diversity but it brings a strong academic record. This class has overall stronger LSAT scores than last year plus the highest undergraduate grade point averages...

We are proud that this group is the most diverse class in the School of Law’s history.
Orientation kicked off with remarks from Paul Suttell, the Chief Justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court, who also administered the Oath of Professionalism. The students spent the next two days learning about the rigors of law school as well as the...

Thanks to the professors, administrators, and personnel for their time and dedication in planning and flawlessly executing orientation, complete with a few local legal stars to kick things off.
Though (as a certain professor is wont to say) nothing can truly prepare "sloppy undergraduates" for the study of law, orientation provided the much-needed caveat "Hold your breath!' before we dove headfirst into classes. Without orientation the dive may well have been more of a belly flop.
We're also obliged to the weather for minimizing distractions, I suppose. While unseasonably chilly temperatures...
