We are different from both regional and non-regional peers in the
following ways. First, we have wonderful joint degree programs with the
Maxwell School of Citizenship, a leading public policy school, the State
University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, a
leading environmental science and policy school on our campus, and other
units of Syracuse University. Second, we have better financial aid than
most of our competitors. Third, we offer a first year elective in
public law processes (PLP) that focuses on understanding public law
through case studies in selected areas (e.g. voting rights PLP,
environmental PLP, disability law PLP, etc.). We also have recently
modernized facilities and a good and improving faculty (I doubt we're
unique in this resect, but we are ahead of many competitors). We also
have centers in International Law, Family Law, Intellectual Property
(with a focus on service to firms in the regions hoping to profit from
technological advances), and Law and Market Economy.

Dear All:
With the permission of our esteemed moderator, I would like to
make the following request of you. The University of Maryland
apparently sends the most students to law schools of any university in
the country (I try, but there is obly so much I can do). Students
frequently come to me with questions about particular law schools that I
either cannot answer or often give fairly out of date answers. So, with
the help of all of you, I thought I would create a file for them to
peruse. If you have a little time, could you send me (privately) a
paragraph or two explaining what is distinctive about your law school.
In particular,
a. why is your school different from other schools in the area (i.e.,
Georgetown v. GW)?
b. why is your school different from other schools similarly ranked
(i.e. NYU v. Columbia).
Any help would be appreciated/ And I will be glad to share this with
all undergraduate conlaw profs on the list.
Please reply to Mark A. Graber at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Oh, and many male students ask this all the time. Who has a good
sports law program?
