Academic Achievement Programs
California Western is committed to the academic support of its students during law school and beyond. The Academic Achievement Department provides this support from orientation through bar exam passage.
Teaching Fellows Program
The Teaching Fellows Program provides academic skills support for first year and upper division bar-tested courses. Teaching Fellows are high-performing upper division students who want to help 1Ls succeed while, in collaboration with faculty, deepening their understanding of legal doctrine.
The Academic Achievement Department trains Teaching Fellows research-supported best practices for teaching and learning. Teaching Fellows also coordinate with faculty, attend or view all classes, hold office hours, and, in most cases, facilitate weekly tutoring sessions.
