In addition to this catalog, entering law students receive under separate cover the School of Law-Camden Student Handbook,
which contains expanded information about the administration and
governance of the law school. This handbook also sets forth the
academic rules and regulations that affect each student's status as a
candidate for the juris doctor degree. Revised annually by the Office
of the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs, the student handbook is
available to students at the beginning of each academic year. Students
are responsible for keeping themselves informed of the policies,
procedures, rules, and regulations contained in the handbook and for
heeding official notices posted on bulletin boards, as well as
information distributed to students through the law school's internal
mail system and posted on the law school web site.
Besides
the academic rules and regulations, copies of the university student
disciplinary hearing procedure, the law school disciplinary
regulations, the university administrative procedures for responding to
disruptions, and law school procedures for implementing provisions of
the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (commonly known
as the "Buckley Amendment") are included in the School of Law-Camden Student Handbook and also are held on reserve in the law school library.
The student handbook and the law school academic rules and regulations are also posted on the law school web site.
Set forth below are brief, general descriptions of major academic policies and procedures in effect at the law school.
