Dean’s Fellow Study Groups
The AAP First-Year Dean’s Fellow Study Groups offer first-year students a chance to enroll and participate in a weekly study group, facilitated by a Dean’s Fellow—an upper-level (2L or 3L) student whose academic achievement in that class was exceptional.
Dean’s Fellows are trained to use interactive learning exercises geared toward different learning styles. The Dean’s Fellow works with the professor, attends all classes, and facilitates two separate weekly study group sessions. This allows students to become acclimated to the study of law much more swiftly and to interact with their fellow students in a relaxed atmosphere.
Approximately 90 percent of first-year students regularly participate in the Study Groups and their comments about its benefits have been overwhelmingly positive. A space is available to every 1L who wants to participate. Study Group registration takes place during the second week of classes. The Study Group schedule is posted on the AAP website.
