We hope that users of this book will also recognize that these lists are compiled from
information received from law schools and that they are, to coin a phrase, “subject
to change without notice.”
A word of appreciation, actually far more than a word, is due to Ms. Terry Wilkerson
and Mekisha Mebane in the PreLaw Advising Center at Duke University who
worked with this project from beginning to end and with all the stops in between.
Their commitment to prelaw advising has made this, for them, something of a labor
of love. An additional word of appreciation is due to Heather C. Struck of SUNY
Binghamton for her research on Dean’s Certification letter & Summer Conditional
Programs. Rita Callahan Ralston, and Briggs Satari for ideas and editing.
Please note that NAPLA and SAPLA do not endorse, support or acknowledge the
effectiveness or utility of any commercial test preparation or advising program.

Some law schools offer graduate work in a general field of law while others have graduate
programs in a specific area of the law. A number of law schools have joint degree programs
whereby a student may combine his/her legal studies with course work in another discipline.
In these cases some of the credits from the law courses will count toward the graduate degree in
the other discipline while some of the graduate work will fulfill a part of the law degree. When
these programs are available the individual will generally be able to complete the two degrees
in a year less than if they were taken separately. A large number of law schools give special
emphasis to certain areas of the law but not enough work to warrant a graduate program.
The information on the following pages was compiled from a questionnaire submitted to
the law schools by Dr. Gerald Wilson of Duke University and Dean Edward Stern of Boston
University.* Again thanks are due to Ms. Terry Wilkerson, who shepherded this process
from beginning to end, Mekisha Mebane, Rita Callahan Ralston, and Briggs Satari for their
participation.
Many schools change their programs from one year to another. After finding the special
program in which a student is interested, attention should be given to the most recent bulletin
of that school. Several schools have indicated that a student might be able to work out another
joint degree program on an individual basis.
* When there is an asterisk (*) beside a school, the information came from the Official Guide rather than from a response to
the Stern/Wilson Survey.

This section of the Book of Law School Lists attempts to give a listing of areas in which clinical
programs are offered. Given the great variety of clinical programs and the even greater variety
of titles given to these programs, we believe that it is more useful to simply identify areas. Often
these clinical programs assume the form of internships or externships. Specific details about
each program can be found in individual law school bulletins or in The Official Guide To U.S.
Law Schools published by LSAC/LSAS.
First, where there is an asterisk (*) beside a school, the information came from
The Official Guide rather than from a response to the Stern/Wilson survey.
Second, the list concludes with a category simply called “Various.” Resisting the
temptation to label it “Miscellaneous,” the editors listed schools which indicate
that they have clinical programs but did not offer specific information. In many
of these cases, clinical programs are arranged individually according to the needs
of the student and the opportunities available. Students and advisors should
examine information provided individually by these schools.

This section of the Book of Law School Lists contains a summary of specialized law school
publications open for student participation. Since the standard law review is a staple of law
schools no separate listing was made.
In addition to the scholarly specialized publications listed in the next few pages, many law
schools publish newspapers, newsletters and yearbooks. In most cases these are entirely
student run.
As is the case with the listing of Clinical Programs, publications have been listed in categories
rather than by specific name. Further information about these publications can be obtained by
examining individual school bulletins or by consulting LSAC/LSDAS Official Guide To U.S.
Law Schools. Where designated, by an asterisk (*) the information came from the Official Guide
rather than a response to the Stern/Wilson survey.
