First-year JD students who have participated in Study Groups in past years tell us that they have been enormously academically supportive and have created new and lasting friendships.
We鈥檒l match you with 4-5 other first-year JD students, taking into account your personal preferences about how you would like to study.
After that, it's up to you to connect with your group and arrange meetings to learn together and support each other!

We will gather your preferences regarding:

- Language choices聽
- Any other considerations for a group allocation.听聽
While we strive to accommodate your choices, please note that final group allocations may be influenced by various factors.
For those who fill out the survey, an email will be sent to you in Week 1 with information about your study group allocation.
Note: These groups are not compulsory, and they do not count towards any kind of course credit or class participation. Rather, it is an initiative facilitated by the Faculty to support your learning as you launch into the demands of Law School.
