Learning Outcomes

In 2016, the Minnesota Law faculty approved a comprehensive outline for the knowledge, skills, and values that are essential to citizenship in the community of Minnesota Law alumni. These Learning Outcomes are meant to be a guide or a road map for students on their journey towards becoming lawyer-leaders and earning their "legal citizenship."

At orientation each year, all 1L students are asked to take the Minnesota Law Student Oath.

The general goals of the 1L curriculum are to introduce students to the study of law and build a foundation for advanced coursework in the upper-division. Read the Learning Objectives for the 1L Year
