The 1999-2000 school year saw 271 law students enrolled and broken into the three
separate years of the program. These law student must spend most of their days and
nights in the law library studying for the intense classes, tests and ultimately The Bar
Exam. The hard work is paying off though, President Hoover announced that this year the
Idaho College of Law is now ranked in the Second Tier of a Four Tier System of Law
School Ranking in the United States. This is quite a feat considering that the U of I Law
School operates on a budget much smaller than most other law schools in the country.
What do Law Student do in their free time? Many have spouses and families and so
they have created a Student Spouse Association. The other clubs recognized by the
school include the Student Bar Association, Delta Theta Phi, Environmental Law Society,
Women's Law Caucus, Idaho Sports Law and Phi Delta Theta. The school also supports a
Law Review. Mock trials run through out the year to prepare the future lawyers and judges
for future combat. One week a year is devoted to Trial Advocacy and special speakers
come through the year for the Sherman J Bellwood Series.
