MEMORANDUM

TO: Prospective Columbia Law School Students

FROM: Nkonye Iwerebon, Dean of Admissions

RE: Spring 2013 Class Visitation ______

Welcome to Columbia Law School. We hope that your visit to Columbia will prove enjoyable, and helpful to your learning as to which law school will best meet your educational and professional objectives.

We invite you to attend a sampling of law classes during your visit, and have attached a class schedule for your reference. Almost all classrooms (JG 102, JG 103, etc.) are located on the first floor of Jerome Greene Hall (JG), the main Law School building located one block north of the Office of Admissions, on the northeast corner of Amsterdam Avenue and West 116th Street. A few are located in this building, William & June Warren Hall (WJ), and W.C. Warren Hall (WW), located on 116th Street diagonally across the street from JG.

We ask that you appear at the classroom door a few minutes before the class is to begin and to provide the faculty member the courtesy of notifying him/her that you will be observing that day. Please ask the faculty member if there is a particular area or seat in the classroom where you should sit.

You are welcome to explore the main building of the Law School by picking up a self-guided tour booklet at the front desk of the Office of Admissions or accessing it at web.law.columbia.edu/admissions/jd/visit. Please be advised that you will need a guest pass from the Office of Admissions in order to enter the Law School library.

The Columbia University Visitor Center offers general guided tours Monday through Friday at 1:00 p.m. You may also take a self-guided tour of the main Columbia University campus at your convenience from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Visitors Center. The Visitor Center is located in Room 213 of Low Memorial Library on main campus. To get to Low Library from Amsterdam Avenue, cross Amsterdam Avenue and enter through the campus gates at 116th Street and walk along College Walk. You will see Low Library (the domed building with columns) on your right.

Thank you for your interest in our Law School. We wish you well as you continue to plan your legal education.
