Students join their group leaders at the annual Admitted Students Day.
At Iowa, we take pride in offering students an environment that is challenging and stimulating, yet open, friendly and highly supportive at the same time. We are confident that you will find this an excellent place to study law during the next three years. We look forward to having you join us this year. We anticipate that this will be another exceptional class filled with talented and interesting students from a variety of backgrounds.
All of the books you need for classes are available at the Law School Bookstore, Room 218. During peak times, sales are made in room 265. Since reading assignments are given for the first day of all law classes, be sure to get your books before the start of classes. Books may be purchased with cash, check or charges to your University bill through your ID card; credit cards are not accepted.
The Law Library provides computers for general student use. The following provides basic information for students about computers available at the law school and purchasing your own computer.
