The school overall is great, but I wouldn’t recommend it for students with disabilities. Students and speakers who are privacy-conscious should be careful as well. Mary Ellen Vigeant is the current director of disability services and she makes disabled students manually record audio of their law school classes on their personal cell phones without the knowledge of some professors, any class speakers or any other students. She also makes the school use a smartphone app built by a Silicon Valley startup called Otter, which was created by people in business to transcribe meetings.

As big as the school is ya'll are teaching future lawyers and yall don't know the number? why don't yall have a directory? learn customer service rule number one if you dont know offer to find out and call back. Poor customer service, especially when I needed help 27 years ago and had no problems. Those students not only saved my life but my son's.
