Through specialized courses, directed research projects and practical experience, students can explore and demonstrate a specialized interest in the study of health, international and employment law. While pursuing a J.D. degree, students can also earn a concentration from one of SLU LAW’s Centers for Excellence to add a specialized area of focus to their legal education.

I chose SLU LAW based on their distinguished reputation in health law. Much of my decision came down to where I would have the most opportunities to pursue a career in health law, specifically in a public interest position. I realized that I could find a perfect combination of interests in the J.D./ M.P.H. program. I could work with individuals and at the larger, policy level.” EMILY ROSENFELD (’15)

HIGH PROFILE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

HEALTH LAW SEMESTER IN WASHINGTON D.C. Complex and fast-paced, the health care industry is highly regulated, with substantial regulation occurring at the federal level. During the Health Law Semester in Washington, D.C., law students clerk in a health-related federal agency for an entire semester. Students gain significant practical experience working with complex health care regulations. Additionally, they begin building a network of contacts within the federal government and in D.C.. Students earn 12 to 14 credits through experiential and course work. Students also enroll in Health Law Agency Practice, a complementary two-credit course addressing both professional responsibility issues that arise in agency practice and advanced topics in administrative law. Offered annually during the spring semester, this program is available to students enrolled in the Health Law Concentration program, a health law dual-degree program or the health law LL.M. program.

ANNUAL HEALTH LAW SYMPOSIUM Each spring, the Center hosts a symposium featuring leading experts and scholars in a relevant field. Proceedings of the symposium are published in the Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy. Symposium topics focus on timely issues in health law and policy. Recent symposia have included: Dying Fast & Slow: Improving Quality of Dying and Preventing Untimely Deaths (2016) The ADA at 25: Disability Rights and the Healthcare Workforce (2015)

Law students participate in the Journal as staff, lead and issue editors. One issue each year is devoted to the publication of the proceedings of the Center for Health Law Studies’ annual symposium. The second issue is devoted to coverage of emerging issues within health law and policy.

20 ONCE A STUDENT’S FIRST 30 HOURS OF LAW SCHOOL ARE COMPLETE, THEY CAN PURSUE A STUDY ABROAD EXPERIENCE. Through agreements with international institutions, law students can chose among several distinctive programs to explore different cultures and legal systems. Students may participate in the summer law program after their first year of law school. A semester abroad is recommended in the fall semester of their third year.

STUDY ABROAD

SUMMER LAW PROGRAM IN MADRID SLU LAW’s most popular study abroad program is the ABA-approved Summer Law Program in Madrid held on Saint Louis University’s Madrid Campus. The Summer Law Program in Madrid builds on the Center’s strong comparative and international law focus by offering up to six credit hours of law courses taught by Spanish legal scholars and professors from SLU LAW. Classroom instruction is in English and the program includes guided site visits to various Spanish legal institutions, including Spain’s Constitutional Court and Spain’s Supreme Court or Spanish law firms. The program allows students to experience Spanish culture while expanding their knowledge of international and comparative law.

SEMESTER STUDY AT FOREIGN INSTITUTIONS FRANCE Students at SLU LAW who have the desire to study in France have three exchange programs available to experience French culture and French law. One of SLU LAW’s newest study abroad opportunities is at the Universite de Toulouse, located in the south of France. This English language program, ideal for students without strong French language skills, has a particular strength in international business law. Students with strong French language skills have the option to study law at the Universite d’ Orleans or the Universite Paris-Dauphine. The Dauphine exchange program allows for J.D. graduates of SLU LAW to apply to return to Paris after completing their J.D. degrees in order to complete their master’s degree. The master’s degree makes the successful student eligible to sit for the French bar exam upon completion of an apprenticeship in France. IRELAND SLU LAW students may spend a semester at the University College, Cork, Ireland and receive credit toward their J.D. degree while gaining insight into European and international law.

SUMMER RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP IN GERMANY The Ruhr-University in Bochum, Germany, offers research fellowships to SLU LAW students and new law faculty. Each fellowship covers a period of up to three months at the Ruhr-University. This fellowship is available to students with a sufficient command of the German language.

Employment and labor law shape business profitability and worker quality of life, making it central to economic and social policies and to a wide range of legal practice. SLU LAW is one of the few law schools to provide a Concentration in Employment Law to prepare students for this dynamic practice area. Founded in 1987, the William C. Wefel Center for Employment Law offers and extensive curriculum to provide students with the foundation for successful practice in the constantly evolving area of employment law.

EARN A CONCENTRATION IN EMPLOYMENT LAW Students who complete 11 credit hours of approved employment law coursework and a paper of publishable quality on an employment law topic will earn a Concentration in Employment Law. AN UNPARALLELED LEARNING EXPERIENCE There are a few areas of law more relevant to modern society than the law governing the employment relationship. SLU LAW students studying employment law will learn about job security; legal regulation of wages, hours, military leave, family and medical leave; health and safety in the workplace; and employee benefits and qualified retirement plans. MASTERS OF SCIENCE IN HUMAN RESOURCES LAW The new Masters of Science in Human Resources Law (MHRL) program provides highly-qualified individuals with the opportunity to pursue studies and research on the legal framework of human resources without the time and resource commitment of a three-year J.D. degree. The 30-credit program provides non-J.D. students with a solid foundation in understanding the law as well as specialized expertise in those legal topics of most interest to human resources professionals.

Students consistently comment on the quality of the instruction and substantive knowledge gained in the classroom and how engaged the faculty and staff are outside of the classroom in providing advice, guidance and support to their educational, professional and personal development. The faculty are also deeply committed to the research and their level of excellences has been acknowledged by numerous local and national awards.

IN-HOUSE CLINICAL PROGRAMS

CIVIL ADVOCACY CLINICS

LITIGATION CLINIC Students handle a variety of lawsuits in state and federal court including civil rights, consumer protection (including bankruptcy), real estate fraud and landlordtenant. Students have the opportunity to litigate some cases themselves, with a faculty member as second chair, and also participate in large class actions and other complex litigation. The Litigation Clinic is currently engaged in lawsuits involving employment discrimination, discrimination in public accommodations and abuses in the municipal courts and jails. Students also provide holistic advocacy in a variety of matters affecting children, youth and young adults who face homelessness, discrimination, education challenge, criminal charges and health advocacy needs. Students serve as lead

counsel in all aspects of representation including juvenile and municipal court, education advocacy, civil advocacy and family law related matters. APPELLATE EXPERIENCE Students argue cases in the Missouri Court of Appeals, primarily involving adjudications in juvenile cases and decisions of the Labor and Industrial Relations Commissions in unemployment compensation proceedings. Students write the briefs and argue before a three-judge panel, handling cases in all three districts of the Missouri Court of Appeals. Students’ successful cases often result in published opinions that affect thousands of people across the state.

CRIMINAL DEFENSE CLINIC

Students interested in representing clients charged with misdemeanor criminal charges are able to intern at various public defender offices in the greater St. Louis area, including Madison County and St. Clair County Public Defender Offices in Illinois, as well as the Office of the Federal Public Defender in St. Louis. Students are active in all aspects of representation, including obtaining records, negotiating plea deals, taking depositions and preparing for trials. Additional placements are available through the Externship Program (see page 42), including the Death Penalty Project.

THE DEATH PENALTY PROJECT Initiated in fall 2014, this project provides opportunities to assist in the direct representation of individuals sentenced to death and research opportunities to contribute to a comprehensive study of the Missouri death penalty statue’s operation since enactment in 1978.


41

ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CLINIC

Since fall 2014, students can participate in two sections of the Entrepreneurship and Community Development Clinic. Both sections provide opportunities for students to perform transactional and some administrative representation to nonprofits, community groups, entrepreneurs and small business on a range of matters in community development, entrepreneurship, intellectual property and policy. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROJECT Students in the Intellectual Property section participate in the United States Patent and

Trademark Office Trademark Program. This program provides students the opportunity to handle trademark prosecutions and also collaborates with local patent attorneys on patent prosecution related matters. FORMATION AND STRUCTURING SMALL BUSINESS AND NONPROFIT PROJECT Students in the Small Business and Nonprofit section serve as the primary counsel to clients on matters associated with the formation and structuring of small business and nonprofits.

MEDIATION CLINIC

Students enrolled in the in-house Mediation Clinic begin by completing the 40-hour Missouri Supreme Court-approved mediation training. Students then have the opportunity to observe mediation in federal court litigation and to serve as primary mediator in family

law cases, landlord-tenant matters and other cases pending in associate circuit court. The companion course emphasizes reflection on mediation experiences, instructions in the substantive areas being mediated and further development of mediation skills.

JUVENILE REHABILITATION ASSISTANCE PROJECT

Through a partnership with the St. Louis Housing Authority, JOBS Plus and the Legal Clinics, students will have the opportunity to provide legal services for local youth in an effort to give them a second chance for housing, employment and education. Students

and supervising attorneys will focus on sealing and correcting criminal records for target youth; removing records by participation in diversion programs; and reinstating revoked or suspended driver’s licenses.

court proceedings from the unique perspective of the judge and his or her chambers. In the spring semester, students also have the opportunity to work at the Missouri Court of Appeals for the Eastern District. During the summer, students can also extern with a Missouri Supreme Court judge.

being taken through eminent domain. Faculty and students successfully negotiated over $ 2.7 million dollars in condemnation damage and settlement awards for displaced homeowners.

STUDENTS DEFEND CLIENTS IN POST-FERGUSON CASE Two second year students successfully represented defendants charged by the City of Ferguson with failure-to-comply during demonstrations after the death of Michael Brown. Their cases were written up in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch where they were commended for their work defending their clients against seasoned attorneys.

Entrepreneurship and Community Development Clinic faculty and students continue to provide legal assistance to Habitat for Humanity St. Louis, a local nonprofit organization, by representing on a variety of pre-closing, closing and post-closing matters, on affordable new homes for St. Louis families. Last year, students handled 10 closings for the organization.

MAJOR WIN FOR CLIENTS IN BLIND PENSION CASE After more than a decade of litigation, the Legal Clinics won a multimillion-dollar judgment for the recipients of Missouri’s Blind Pension Fund. The Missouri Court of Appeals ruled that the circuit judge miscalculated the amount the state owed recipients of the pension fund. As a result, the plaintiffs may be awarded more than $19 million in damages, interest and fees. Every semester for the last 10 years, law students were involved in ongoing litigation, with many traveling to Jefferson City for hearings and depositions.

 STUDENTS ADVOCATE FOR VOTER ACCESSIBILITY In conjunction with the Missouri Council for the Blind, the Legal Clinics held a press conference to encourage all persons with disabilities, including the blind and visually impaired, to participate in Missouri’s presidential primary election. Students called on the Missouri legislature to adopt bills requiring that the audio ballot-enabled machines be available for all polling places for all elections, including purely municipal elections. E&CD CLINIC SUCCESSFULLY ASSISTS HOMEOWNERS WITH DAMAGE AND SETTLEMENT AWARDS In light of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency’s decision to relocate to North St. Louis, faculty and clinic students represented 17 families whose homes and small businesses were

SUCCESSFUL REPRESENTATION BEFORE U.S. PATENT & TRADEMARK OFFICE Students have participated in 38 trademark prosecutions for clients of the E&CD Clinic. To date, students, with faculty supervision have assisted 15 entrepreneurs and small businesses through publication on 25 new trademarks. Some marks are pending publication. LEGAL CLINIC STUDENTS VISIT USPTO As part of the partnership with the United States Patent Office, students from the Entrepreneurship and Community Development Clinic visited the USPTO headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia. The partnership allows for clinical offering in trademark and patent law. Students, with faculty supervision, are able to assist St. Louis’ burgeoning startup and entrepreneur community jumpstart their business and protect their logo, brands and creative works used in commerce. SUCCESSFUL RULING FOR STUDENTS IN COURT OF APPEALS A second year student successfully argued an unemployment compensation case before the Western District of the Missouri Court of Appeals. The case involved the Division of Employment Security failing to recognize the pervasive use of cell phones in society after an unemployment hearing was dismissed because of cell phone connection issues. The student successfully argued that the Missouri Constitution provides for judicial review of the Commission’s decision to determine if it is authorized by law. THE CLINICS’ RESPONSE TO “FERGUSON” After the death of Michael Brown and subsequent protests in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014, the Legal Clinics faculty and students immersed themselves in numerous efforts to help reform systems which had escaped scrutiny for decades. COMMUNITY EDUCATION, ORGANIZATION AND ADVOCACY The students, faculty and staff of the Legal Clinics took a leading

role in advocating for municipal court reform (a project they began well before the spotlight was on Ferguson), educating residents about their legal rights in police interactions, representing the disadvantaged and protecting First Amendment rights of the citizens involved in change. Their work earned recognition among their peers including a 2014 Super Lawyers Pro Bono Award and the 2015 Clinical Legal Education Association (CLEA) Award for Excellence in a Public Interest Case or Project. Additionally, three clinical faculty won the Legal Champion Awards from Missouri Lawyers Weekly for their individual efforts in civil litigation and criminal defense. Clinic students and faculty spoke at Ferguson City Council meetings calling for amnesty for people with outstanding warrants and at meetings of the Ferguson Commission, a group formed by Gov. Jay Nixon to study the numerous issues raised as a result of the Ferguson events. Students also met personally with Gov. Nixon at SLU LAW to present stories of their clients who faced serious difficult consequences from the municipal court system. LITIGATION The Litigation Clinic continues to be at the forefront of litigation challenging inequities in the criminal justice system. Students and faculty in the Litigation Clinic continue to work with the nonprofit legal advocacy group ArchCity Defenders, the local law firm of Campbell Law, LLC, and the national organization called Equal Justice Under Law to challenge illegal practices by municipal police departments and municipal courts. Abuses by these systems received intense focus after the events in Ferguson. In settling two of the major cases, the Clinic has helped recover more than $5 million dollars in damages for people who were illegally jailed for being unable to pay their court fines or bail, or who paid illegal court fees. The Clinic and its partners have filed a dozen lawsuits against municipalities engaged in illegal practices.

TRIAL ADVOCACY AND EVIDENCE AND ADVOCACY The trial advocacy program at SLU LAW provides students with an in-depth and comprehensive introduction to the art of courtroom advocacy. Director of Trial Advocacy, Professor Tom Stewart, is an award-winning trial attorney with 23 years of trial experience. Students learn courtroom advocacy from the prospective of experienced practicing attorneys and are expected to demonstrate their learnings in a half-day final trial. Unique to the SLU LAW experience is the school’s Evidence and Advocacy course for upper division students. The course combines the study of rules of evidence with the art of courtroom advocacy for an extremely valuable integrated theory-to-practice learning experience.

COMPETITIONS SLU LAW’s Trial Advocacy Program feeds into the Trial Team. The Trial Team is coached by local practicing attorneys and competes in regional and national trial competitions. SLU LAW has earned a national reputation as a successful trial advocacy program through the strong performances and numerous awards earned by our students.

INNS OF COURT

The SLU LAW Theodore McMillian American Inn of Court is a collaboration of St. Louis legal community members, including more than 80 attorneys, judges and law school students. They focus on sharing best trial practices, enhancing their commitment to professional skills ethics and engaging in fellowship. The SLU LAW Inn of Court specifically focuses on trial advocacy and litigation aspects of the law.

MOOT COURT The Moot Court Program at SLU LAW introduces students to written and oral advocacy in the American appellate court system. Moot Court is an extension of the law school’s legal writing program and offers students the opportunity to advance both written and oral advocacy skills. Director of Appellate Advocacy, Paige Canfield, is an experienced appellate attorney who continues to practice in addition to teaching. Students who excel in Moot Court I are invited to take Moot Court II.

COMPETITIONS Students in the Moot Court Program have the unique opportunity to compete in prestigious national competitions each year to develop their appellate brief drafting and oral argument skills.

TRANSACTIONAL WORK Many lawyers practice outside of the courtroom, and SLU LAW provides students with opportunities to develop those legal skills. Through courses such as transactional drafting, advanced commercial and business transactions and transactional health care practice, students learn the critical elements involved in drafting and reviewing documents, contracts and agreements for situations ranging from leasing property to creating a business.

DELINE ETHICS AND PROFESSIONALISM The Deline Ethics and Professionalism Program is part of an overarching program that starts during the students’ first year and explores the ethical and professionalism issues integral to the practice of law.

It is the cornerstone principle of a SLU LAW education that reflects our students’ and faculty’s focus on community, academic excellence and public service that embodies the Jesuit mission. SLU LAW provides tangible opportunities for students to see the law – and the power of what the law can do – by placing them in positions to help real people in real situations. Individuals considering a legal career in public service will gain considerable exposure to the field by serving the community through public service agencies and participating in special events and projects.

SLU LAW holds its Jesuit values high and has a strong commitment to social justice. The seminars and summer reading challenge us to think critically and open a dialogue about current social justice issues.” ALEX LINDLEY (ANTICIPATED ’18)

Events include cookie sales for the Alzheimer’s Association, a chili cook-off for Women’s Safe House, fundraising for leukemia and lymphoma research, Stray Rescue and many other activities.

My time at SLU LAW has reaffirmed my focus to give back to the community. It has always been a focus of mine, but being at SLU LAW has provided me with various opportunities to do so within the legal community.” ASHLEY MOORE (’16)

Saint Louis University School of Law calls Scott Hall home, a 12-story building in the heart of downtown St. Louis. The unique location provides the vibrant SLU LAW community with a profound difference in the ability to teach, learn and fulfill SLU’s social justice mission, and with courthouses, government agencies, top law firms and corporations just steps away, the proximity presents tremendous opportunities to strengthen the connection between students and the legal and business communities. As home to more than 1,600 businesses and nearly 90,000 jobs, downtown offers the highest concentration of legal, financial, government and creative businesses in the region. Additionally, SLU LAW is within walking distance to numerous civic and cultural experiences, such as the Peabody Opera House, City Museum, City Garden, Busch Stadium and the Gateway Arch. Festivals and runs regularly occur directly across the street from Scott Hall in the neighboring Kaufman and Poelker parks.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS SLU LAW offers full-time and part-time (day or evening) programs. A bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution is required. Exceptions may be made on a case by case basis by the Admissions Committee as authorized by ABA Accreditation Standards Section 502(c). Registration for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), the LSAC Credential Assembly Service (CAS) and the LSAC Letter of Recommendation Service (LOR) is required. No application is complete without test scores and transcript analysis from LSAC’s CAS. It is highly recommended that applicants take the test in the summer or fall prior to the year they wish to enter law school. The School of Law will only consider LSAT scores earned within the last three years. All undergraduate and graduate transcripts must be forwarded directly to the CAS. The School of Law requests the CAS Law School Report upon receipt of the application. ADMISSIONS DETERMINATION The Admissions Committee considers several factors in determining a candidate’s eligibility: academic achievement, strength of the undergraduate program, application information, Law School Admission Test (LSAT) results (the Committee places exclusive weight on an individual’s highest score), personal statement, work experience, graduate degrees earned, motivation, leadership and service.

61

BUT IF YOU D O H AV E Q U E S T I O N S ... If you have a question regarding the admissions process or need an accommodation, we encourage you to contact the Office of Admissions.

PERSONAL STATEMENT Used as a way for students to set themselves apart, the personal statement is an important part of the application process. With the additional information provided in the statement, the Admissions Committee looks beyond LSAT scores and undergraduate GPA in order to gain insight into a student’s individual character and writing ability. As such, information regarding personal or professional goals, academic, career and life experiences is helpful. Attention is given to brevity and clarity of thought and expression. Please limit the personal statement to two pages or less. LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION Saint Louis University School of Law requires applicants to utilize the LSAC Letter of Recommendation Service (address listed in “Application Checklist” on opposite page or visit LSAC.org for information and instructions). Two letters are required. Students should request letters from individuals who can accurately assess their intellectual ability, motivation, character and academic performance. Great importance is placed on content that verifies

For more information, go to law.slu.edu/ Centers/cicl/two-year-jd-foreign-lawyers. SUMMER INSTITUTE The School of Law seeks to admit students who will contribute to the intellectual life of the institution in ways that their undergraduate grades and standardized test scores alone fail to reveal. The Summer Institute is designed to identify students with the high degree of personal motivation necessary to succeed in law school, as evidenced by their proven ability to overcome significant obstacles to educational achievement. The seven-week Summer Institute includes a substantive first semester course and a course in legal skills. Students who successfully complete this program are accepted into the School of Law for the fall semester. For more information, go to law.slu.edu/admissions/jd-program/summer-institute.

TRANSFER STUDENTS Transfer students must produce evidence of satisfactory study in an ABA-approved law school and be eligible to continue at the school from which the transfer is sought. For more information, go to law.slu.edu/admissions/jd-program/transfer-applicants. VISITING STUDENTS Visiting status is granted to a limited number of students who wish to complete a semester or a year of law study at Saint Louis University and receive their degree from another law school. For more information, go to law.slu.edu/admissions/jd-program/ transfer-applicants. LL.M. APPLICATION The LL.M. application has separate requirements than the J.D. application.

The School of Law at Saint Louis University was founded in 1843 when there were fewer than 20 law schools in the nation. To commemorate the significance of that time in history, the 1843 SCHOLARS PROGRAM was established in 2000 to recognize a group of exemplary students for outstanding academic achievements. TEN STUDENTS ARE AWARDED A FULL-TUITION SCHOLARSHIP, which includes annual tuition increases, for three years. Applicants are nominated by the School of Law to compete for the scholarship. Applicants seeking consideration for the 1843 full-tuition scholarship should complete their application prior to February 1, 2017.

Saint Louis University’s Office of Student Financial Services is committed to both educational excellence in the Jesuit tradition and student service. Prospective law students can speak with the Financial Aid Coordinator in the School of Law. SCHOLARSHIPS Saint Louis University School of Law awards merit-based scholarships to highly qualified, admitted students. Applicants who wish to be considered for our full-tuition 1843 Scholarship must apply by February 1, 2017. There is no deadline for all other levels of scholarship and all applications will receive consideration for a scholarship award. For those who qualify, scholarship notification is included in the acceptance materials. All merit scholarships are awarded based on past academic performance and LSAT scores. Merit scholarships are renewable by remaining in good academic standing. To determine eligibility for federal student aid programs, law students must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each academic year. For the 2017-2018 academic year, students will be required to file the 2017-2018 FAFSA using their 2016 federal income tax return information. Students can file the FAFSA online at fafsa.gov no earlier than October 1, 2016, and should have the results sent to Saint Louis University using the federal school code of 002506.

GOVERNING POLICIES AND PRACTICES Federal law requires each eligible institution participating in Title IV federal financial aid programs to provide student financial assistance and other institutional information. Law students must adhere to the same policies and practices established by Saint Louis University as any other student, including financial aid policies if they are receiving Title IV federal financial aid. This includes maintaining satisfactory academic progress in order to remain eligible for financial aid. Each student is responsible for knowing the University policies, in addition to the policies established by the School of Law. Go to law.slu.edu for more details. FEDERAL DIRECT UNSUBSIDIZED LOAN Saint Louis University participates in the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program. All admitted students who file a FAFSA will be reviewed for federal Direct Unsubsidized loan eligibility. FEDERAL DIRECT PLUS LOAN A student must complete a FAFSA for the intended academic year as part of the eligibility process for the Direct PLUS loan. Students must also apply for their annual loan maximum eligibility under the federal Direct Unsubsidized loan program before applying for the Direct PLUS loan. A credit check will be performed by the lender at the time of application to determine eligibility for the

Direct PLUS loan. The borrower must not have adverse credit history. The application is available annually after April 1 via studentloans.gov. PRIVATE LOANS Students who cannot borrow federal loans typically use private loans from banks or credit unions. These loans may have higher interest rates, more stringent credit requirements than federal loans and may also require payments while in school. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS International students must make financial arrangements before studies at Saint Louis University can begin. Federal aid is not available to international students on an F1 or F2 student visa, J1 or J2 exchange visitor visa or a G series visa. Private loans are available to international students; however, most lenders require that a U.S. citizen or permanent resident co-sign the loan.
