Irish Law 2005

Dear Notre Dame Law School Class of 2008, Welcome as a potential student to Notre Dame Law School! We are thrilled to be among the first to receive you into our family. We know that this is an exciting time for you and that, if you are anything like we were just a couple of years ago, you probably have plenty of questions about law school and Notre Dame. That\u27s why we\u27ve prepared the Guide. We hope it will answer many of your questions and that it will provide a window into Notre Dame Law School. We also hope that once you look through that window, you\u27ll be as eager to join us as we are to have you! This is called an Insider\u27s Guide because it has been written entirely by students. Over the past semester, we\u27ve updated and revised old sections, compiled and created new sections, and edited and re-edited the whole in hopes of making your transition to law school at Notre Dame easier. (As you will soon learn, however, the Notre Dame community is made up of more than just students and it is only fair to mention that a number of faculty and staff members have recommended a great little restaurant or the like, to us for inclusion in the Guide. ) This isn\u27 t a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know to get through law school, but it is a great place to start. Whether you\u27re trying to figure out where to live next year, what is the best way to get to and around South Bend, where to find a good Italian restaurant, or what law students do on the weekend, the Guide will be a terrific resource. Although many of us never expected to, we have come to treasure our experiences here at NDLS. The professors, the students, and the staff of this law school are uniquetheir warmth, friendship, and true support have made studying law at Notre Dame fun and, undoubtedly, has provided us with a better hope that our enthusiasm, and that of other students, will be apparent throughout the Guide. We have appreciated reflecting on our experiences here and enjoyed putting the Guide together for you. And, although we know that you have already been inundated with information from the law school and the university, we hope that this look at NDLS from the perspective of your soon-to-be colleagues will be valuable as you prepare for classes in August. Once again, welcome! We hope to see you in August
