Facilities
The law
school is equiped with over 50 lab computers running WindowsXP. All of
our computers are kept up to date by maintaining a three year
replacement cycle. In fact, most of our computers were upgraded just
last year. Our larger classrooms contain a teaching station with built
in technology to aid in class presentations. Wireless Internet is
available for laptop users and there are also network ports available
for those who do not have a wireless card. All students receive a
personal email account, as well as access to Lexis and Westlaw computer
research.
