The Office of Student Affairs is the primary liaison for students with administration and faculty at Emory Law School. We are responsible for enhancing the quality of life of students through support for student groups, academic assistance, counseling, and referrals to Emory University resources, while also providing faculty, staff, administration and alumni with necessary services and information to fulfill the academic mission of Emory Law School. Our office is also responsible for assisting faculty in administering final examinations, arranging Orientation, and overseeing matters regarding the Professional Conduct Code of Emory Law School. We also organize many different events for students and bring in speakers on a broad range of topics. As part of Academic Assistance, we deliver the Study Smarter series of programs on law school study skills during the Fall semester, aimed primarily at 1Ls but open to all students.
The Office of Student Affairs is a small, friendly and confidential office that can help you find the help you need at Emory Law School. Please do not hesitate to call our office or look on our webpage Important Links for information about:
