2015-2016 School of Law Bulletin

This bulletin collects major policies and procedures pertinent to students enrolled at Hamline University School of Law (Hamline Law). Hamline Law reserves the right to add new policies, amend, rescind or grant an exception to an existing policy at any time.

These policies, last updated September 2014, incorporate the Hamline Law Academic Rules (AR) promulgated by the law faculty, other policies applicable only to law students, and significant Hamline University (HU) student policies pertinent to law students incorporated within the document or by reference. In the event of a conflict between the Bulletin and the Academic Rules, the Academic Rules govern. The law school also abides by and interprets the ABA Standards for Approval of Law Schools, available at http://www.abanet.org/legaled/standards/standards.html.

Questions concerning the interpretation and application of the Student Policies and Procedures should be addressed to the Registrar, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, or Assistant Dean for Students and Diversity.

Requests for exceptions to the requirements of the Academic Rules or the Student Policies must be presented in writing to the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. (AR 113)
