Workshops

Analytical Skills Workshop (ASW)

This weekly offering taught by Professor Brook Baker attempts to demystify the law school learning process and engage you in your own learning process. The workshop includes explicit discussion of study skills, conventions of legal analysis and exam preparation strategies.
