TECHNICAL STANDARDS FOR J.D. AND LL.M STUDENTS (PDF)
As a professional school, our graduates must have a predictable level of competence across the range of knowledge and skills expected of lawyers. Such competence allows clients, licensing and credentialing authorities, and other interested parties to rely on these competencies. The American Bar Association and state bar associations require some of these competencies; others come from widespread industry practice and expectations in the legal profession, as reported by the National Association for Law Placement and the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System. To achieve these competencies, students at the College of Law must perform various functions either with or without reasonable accommodation consistent with applicable law and must practice and maintain these abilities throughout law school. These competencies are known as Technical Standards.
