Mission Statement
Admissions/Recruitment Committee
The focus of the Admissions Committee is to continually enhance and otherwise improve the overall presentation of the law school to the general community as part of an effort to attract the best and
brightest students to our school. Additionally, the Admissions Committee is always brainstorming about new ways to reach out to potential candidates, whether through on-campus initiatives, student-run programs, etc. The Committee is chaired by Professor Fajer and works closely with the Admissions Office and Dean White.
