Welcome to the Class 2012

As the Dean of Students at the University of Miami School of Law, I am delighted to welcome you to our law school community.


The Dean of Students office coordinates a wide range of services to the students in the Law School Community. From orientation to graduation, we strive to serve the needs of our law students. We counsel students on academic and personal matters, coordinate disability services and promote student wellness. We also work with our many student organizations that contribute to the vibrant life of the Law School. We have responsibility for the fair administration of examinations as well as promoting high standards of ethics and professionalism among our student body. 


I recommend that you take a few moments to visit our web page for our current students, located at http://www.law.miami.edu/currentstudents/. This page gives a great overview of Student Life at UM.


We have a great Orientation Committee made up of 2L and 3L students who are planning summer pre-orientation events in July and August to get to know you. For those of you out of South Florida this summer, we will have created a blog to discuss law-related books and movies. Another way to communicate with us is our Facebook Group please join us at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?sid=e14e2efb7d6b0e65b28282ef8ec34fa7&gid=73836204313&ref=search

Recommended Attire
There is no dress code for Orientation. Comfortable shoes are strongly suggested because you will be doing a lot of walking. It likely will be hot outside and cool in the air conditioned rooms, so dress appropriately for the heat and a jacket or sweater for indoors. 

Some students wear shorts, jeans, skirts or summer dress. Miami is typically casual though you want to remember that you are entering a professional school rather than heading to the beach.

The Dean's Dinner at the Biltmore Hotel is dressier - cocktail attire.
