    UDC LAW has a statutory mission to recruit and enroll students from groups traditionally underrepresented at the bar; to provide a well-rounded theoretical and practical legal education that will enable students to be effective and ethical advocates; and to represent the legal needs of low-income residents through the school's legal clinics.

    • Maintain proficiency on the use of software and technology in the classroom.
    • Research, write, and publish scholarly output in academic or professional journals, books, media outlets and/or electronic media in a manner that is consistent with the direction of the academic program.

    • Participate in writing grant proposals, as appropriate, to procure external research funding.
