Your First Two Weeks

The first step towards having a great law school experience is ensuring that you have a smooth and successful transition into the law school community. This starts during the summer, ramps up during the first two weeks of our official Orientation (August 17 – August 28, 2026), and continues throughout your first term.

Our 1L Orientation is designed to give you an introduction to the three main components of your law school experience: Academics, Student Life and Supports, and Social Activities.  

Our goal for Orientation is to make sure that you have a solid general sense of the institution and community you are joining, how things work, and where to ask questions, before you start the school year in September. Orientation will also create space for you to get to know each other and start to build your law school community.

Please note: the scheudule below reflect the August 2025 orientation schedule. Please check back in 2026 for details about the August 2026 orientation schedule.
