The Swyer Academic Success Program provides academic assistance to students in group and individual settings. Conducted by faculty and students, the program helps first-year students prepare for exams, understand legal reasoning and synthesize case analyses. Writing workshops and basic skills training are provided. Counseling Services and referrals are provided by the Offices of Student Affairs and Diversity Affairs to all students with academic, career and personal issues. Bar Preparation Curriculum offers a customized, for credit, graded preparation course during the third year of law school. Bar Exam Mentoring Program provides thirdyear students assistance with study tips, test procedures, and general concerns regarding the exam. Students who are interested in participating will be assigned to a faculty mentor—who will offer guidance and support from the beginning of the Bar Review course through the last day of the bar exam. The program also includes speakers from the Board of Law Examiners, a judge from the New York Court of Appeals and alumni presenting on various topics.
Pershia M. Wilkins, the Director of Multi-cultural Affairs, ensures that Albany Law School is a safe place for all students.
