Orientation
Orientation is mandatory for incoming first year day and evening students. It is structured to allow you to learn about the law school, meet fellow students, faculty, and administrators, and take care of all necessary business before classes begin.
top
Class
Schedule
First Year Day and Evening students are automatically
scheduled for their first year classes. The day division is divided
into three sections and the evening division is its own section.
The students in a section take their required core courses together
and divide into even smaller groups for the school's unique Lawyering
Process course, which gives first year students early, hands-on
exposure to the crucial skills of research, writing, negotiation,
and persuasion. Class schedules will be sent out in early August.
top
Books
Law books for incoming first year students will be available
for purchase in August. Please be aware that, although unlikely,
your class schedule may change up to and including the first day
of orientation. In the event that your class schedule changes
and you need to return or exchange your books for a full refund,
please do not take books out of their original packaging or write
in them until you receive your final schedule at orientation.
The bookstore is located in Driscoll Center South.

top Denver
and Colorado
Denver is located on high, rolling plains, approximately
15 miles from the "Foothills" (a gentle series of peaks
ranging from 7,000 to 11,000 feet high). Just beyond the Foothills
is the Continental Divide and a series of peaks as high as 14,000
feet, known locally as the "Front Range." Contrary to
popular belief, Denver has a mild, dry and arid climate. Denver
boasts over 200 parks, 450 miles of paved, designated bike trails,
over 70 golf courses, and more than 143 free tennis courts. A
short drive from Denver are opportunities for skiing, snowboarding,
hiking, fishing, camping, horseback riding, sailing, or mountain
biking. For more information about Denver and Colorado, please
