Perspectives are broadened by exposure to a host of different backgrounds, teaching styles and viewpoints from professors and by the experiences of distinguished guest lecturers. The School of Law also sponsors eminent guest scholars to teach minicourses and to speak to students each year. One of the distinct advantages of attending a law school with an established national reputation is the quality of guest lecturers it attracts.
