Policy of Non-Discrimination Boston College admits students without regard to sex, race, color, age, national or ethnic origin or handicapped status. The Law School does not discriminate on any of the above grounds in its educational pro­ grams or activities or in its employment practices. The Law School has designated Dean Daniel R. Coquillette as the individ­ ual responsible for the application of laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex or handicap. Inquiries concerning the application of these laws should be directed to Dean Daniel R. Coquillette, Boston Col­ lege Law School, 885 Centre Street, New­ ton Centre, Massachusetts 02159.

Accreditation No rating of law schools beyond the sim­ ple statement of their accreditation status is attempted or advocated by the official orga­ nizations in legal education. Qualities that make one kind of school ideal for one stu­ dent may not be as important to another. The American Bar Association and its Sec­ tion of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar have issued disclaimers of any law school rating system. Prospective law stu­ dents should consider a variety of factors in making their choice among schools. Boston College Law School has been ac­ credited by the American Bar Association since 1932, the first year in which accredita­ tion was possible. It became a member of the Association of American Law Schools in 1937. A chapter of the Order of the Coif, the national law school honorary society, was established at the Law School in 1963. Message from the Dean

The best legal education is both intellectual and ethical. This reflects the law's effort to arrange human affairs on the basis of fairness and truth. Neither fairness nor truth is achieved without sound and crea­ tive intellectual exertion and without a full consideration of ethical and social values. No student becomes an effective lawyer without learning and experiencing both. Much of legal education centers on the intellectual. The skills thus developed of analysis, reasoned interpretation and logic are fundamen­ tal tools that the law student must develop and the [awyer constantly uses. As we become more sophisticated in our use of these skills, we develop a comprehension of the ethical values of our society, and the relationships that society has decided, and is deciding, wiTl govern us and our activities . Our intellectual training will also teach us the healthy skepticism that we must bring to any true understanding of the world of which we are a part. This comprehension of the variety of personal, political and social values, and the ability to observe and evaluate the ethical issues in a course of action, need to be learned and experienced in legal education with the same care as we learn the more traditional inteirectual skills. We must learn to b~ sensitive as well as questioning, to w:z.derstand our own and others values, as well as to develop those skzlls we need as professionals. Boston College Law School offers an education that meets the stan­ dards of what we believe is the 'best of legal education. It does so in a supportive, collegial atmosphere, the atmosphere in which we strongly believe you can [earn most effectively. The three years of demanding, challenging, and exciting work and activities will turn you into a professwnal, well-equipped to assist others in successfu[ly identifying and obtaining their best interests, both moral and legal. It also gives you the abilities to function effectively to resolve the many practical and ethical challenges of a successful legal or other career.

New England

The four seasons of the year highlight the many attractions of New England. Autumn in New England can mean hiking, horse­ back riding, and apple picking amidst a flurry of color in the Berkshire Hills or mountains of New Hampshire. It also means tailgating at Alumni Stadium with the Boston College Eagles' football team or at Foxboro, home of the New England Patriots. Winter draws the avid skiers to the chal­ lenging resorts of Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine and skaters to the many frozen ponds that dot the area. Spring calls forth not only the blooming trees and flowers of New England's gardens and ave­ nues but also the running of the world famous Boston Marathon from Hopkinton to the Prudential Center. Summer means trips to the beaches of Cape Cod, the Vine­ yard, Maine and the North Shore; it also means sailing, windsurfing and whale watching in Boston Harbor and Buzzards Bay. The in­ tensity of the four seasons makes New England very special and the location of the Law School allows students to take advantage of all the attractions New England has to offer.
