Academic Advising
Director Ann Kim (a.kim@law.umaryland.edu) and Assistant Dean Crystal Edwards (cedwards@law.umaryland.edu) are primarily responsible for academic advising. Students are encouraged to consult either one for general advice on designing a two- or three-year course plan beyond the initial required course structure. They can also answer questions about the curriculum, specific course offerings, and dual degree programs. Dean Edwards has overall responsibility for the school's externship and study abroad programs. Steven Boggs (sboggs@law.umaryland.edu), the Director of Law Registration is a valuable source of information about academic rules and degree requirements.
As director of the Academic Achievement Program Associate Dean Russell McClain (rmcclain@law.umaryland.edu) adds another perspective about course selection and academic and career goals. Assistant Dean Dana Morris (dmorris@law.umaryland.edu) and the professional staff of the Career Development Office provide academic guidance as it relates to achieving career goals. Micah Yarbrough, Assistant Director Academic Achievement and Bar Preparation Programs (mYarbrough@law.umaryland.edu) offers valuable advice about bar requirements and bar courses.
Required courses will prepare you for many subject areas that will be covered on the bar exam. We encourage all students to enroll in courses covered by the bar exam, among other elective courses.
Students are encouraged to speak with faculty and managing program directors for advice about certificate or track requirements for the various programs and about specific course offerings.
