Law Students
Concerns regarding a law student being unreachable or missing should be referred to the Law School Dean of Students Office. Upon receipt of such a concern, the Dean of Students will determine an appropriate course of action on a case by case basis, balancing the privacy of our adult students with legitimate concerns for safety and well-being.
