Each fall term, the law school publishes a dean`s list. Students whose grade-point average for all course work taken during the previous term places them in the top 25 percent of the student body for that term are included on the dean`s list. Students whose work for the previous term places them in the top 5 percent of the student body for that term are designated as Dean`s Scholars. Similar honors are calculated for members of the first-year class.
