programs in the country.

Curriculum
The majority of classes have less than 85 students, which enables close faculty-student relationships. Deans, administrators, and faculty members maintain an open-door policy for students some of the time. The majority of faculty members have had careers in legal practice prior to becoming legal educators. Their experience in law firms, as corporate counsel, and as federal and state regulators adds important perspectives to the theoretical principles of law.The Law School also participates in national competitions including the Trial Advocacy competitions sponsored by the American Association for Justice (AAJ, formerly ATLA), the National Trial Competition (NTC), but has won few awards.
