Summary:
This series includes information on the reopening of the School of Law, including fund-raising issues, the Northeastern School of Law Academic Rules, and a 1983 calendar with caricatures of faculty. In addition, there is a "Five Year Report" written in 1974 that documents progress and changes at the school in the years after its reopening.
This series also includes questionnaires and self-studies which document change and progress at the school. The questionnaires and self-studies were required by the American Bar Association for accreditation purposes and to document the school's evolution. Of note are the American Bar Association's comments on the School of Law Library in its report of 1983 (box 1, folder 18). Further information on the school's library can be found in box 2, folders 18-21.
Also included are annual publications produced by the office, including the Student Information Handbook and "The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth: An Insider's Guide to Northeastern University School of Law." Also found in this series is correspondence from several deans of the School of Law, documenting various activities at the school. This correspondence originates from deans Thomas J. O'Toole, Michael Meltsner, Daniel J. Givelber, David Hall, and Associate Deans Susan Scott and Diane Tsoulas.
Additional materials include materials regarding the budget, faculty expansion, the Legal Services Institute, and the Clerkship Committee, a committee responsible for matching students with sites for their clerkships.
