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 website.

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 website.

The sections below are brief, general descriptions of major academic policies and procedures in effect at the law school, followed by Rutgers' universitywide policies and procedures.
