Academic Support

Students at Oak Brook have access to a wide wide range of technology and resources that support communication and interaction throughout law school. Each class receives instruction during orientation to assist in constructing a support system and methods for interaction which fits their unique class needs and priorities. 

In addition to professor interaction, first year students work with teaching assistants who lead weekly conference calls to discuss and review the current material being studied, as well as practice test-taking skills and encourage students in their studies. Students in all years engage with classmates, professors, and alumni via the student portal – Populi – to submit assignments, ask questions, receive academic and professional counsel, and engage with each other. 

Throughout the program, students may receive additional tutorial assistance in their studies by calling the College administrative offices or by contacting the professor for the course in which assistance is needed. Faculty members are available during specific hours each week, and phone numbers for each faculty member are provided to all enrolled students. Students may receive academic counseling through the College administrative offices where staff members are available to answer students’ questions and to help them set academic goals. If necessary, staff members will direct students to faculty members for further counseling and, upon request, a specific faculty advisor will be assigned to a student.

“Don’t give up on the passion God has put in your heart for the sake of making money in more lucrative areas of the legal world. Don’t be afraid to step out there and change the world. Be bold, be humble, and pursue justice.” “Don’t give up on the passion God has put in your heart for the sake of making money in more lucrative areas of the legal world.
