The Mitchell Hamline School of Law Catalog serves as the primary source of information about the law school’s academic standards, policies, curriculum, and program requirements. The contents of this Catalog are current and accurate as of August 2024. This Catalog is reviewed and updated annually; however, the law school reserves the right to make changes at any time. All students are responsible for the information contained in this Catalog.

This Catalog is designed to help students understand the academic and student affairs rules, policies, and procedures of the law school. Many of the policies and procedures are crafted and published in accordance with the American Bar Association’s Standards and Rules of Procedure for Approval of Law Schools.  All students are expected to refer to this Catalog periodically throughout their law school careers. Failure to do so does not exempt a student from the requirements stated herein.

In addition to this Catalog, the law school website serves as a valuable resource to all students and should be visited frequently. The Current Students section of the website provides important information about academic schedules and requirements, registration, exams, accommodations, student records, competitions, and student organizations. Additional law school and student policies can be found in the Mitchell Hamline Policy Repository linked from this Catalog and on the Current Student Webpage.
