Graduate Legal Studies - Helpful Information for Current Students
The Office of Graduate Legal Studies (GLS) has created these pages for current students in the LL.M. and J.S.D Programs to outline degree requirements and to help answer some of the most common questions we receive.
Our offices are located on the 6th floor of William and June Warren Hall (WJW). We have an open door policy, and encourage all students to come see us if they have any concerns or issues, whether academic or personal. If we cannot properly address your concerns, we will be able to direct you to the office or individual who can. Individual offices are listed next to our contact information below.
