So we have lots of different resources for our students to prepare them for the Bar exam. One thing that we've been doing for a few years is really increasing the assessments and feedback during the semester. We're trying to give our students opportunities to try out what they're learning, and to get feedback on that as they go along. And that decreases a little bit of the pressure and also gives them lots of chances to practice.
We very much try to see the crossroads between theory and practice. It's really important that students have a good grounding in the legal doctrines that they're going to need to use as a lawyer. So you can't shortchange knowing the black letter law concepts, understanding the policy behind law, knowing how law functions, how law is created, the common law itself, and how it evolves. But at the same token, we want to make sure that students aren't learning that in a vacuum, that they see it with a lot of context so that when they're in practice, they're better able to actually hit the ground running and be successful.
So one of the benefits of having small classes is it's a lot more individualized, you do get called on a lot more. But the nice thing about that is when you get cold or cold called, it helps you understand, to think on your feet and understand the law a little bit better. Also, with those small class sizes, if you need to see a professor, you're not waiting in a line of 20 people, there might be one or two other people that are wanting to meet with the professor that day. So here, there's still going to be a level of healthy competition. And it's good to find that you want to be somewhere where there's going to be some type of competition to push each other and strive for success.
There is a ton of student organizations that students can get involved in. Everybody has a lot of different interests in different sectors of law. So it's everything from the Second Amendment Organization to the Immigration Law Society, and then all the way to the Medicine and Law Society, which I'm actually Vice President of. So my undergrad was in health science. So when I came here, I wanted to connect with other students who are interested in the intersection of health and love law.
So we started up the club, and we focus on the intersection between medicine and law. And so what we do is we host speaker events. So mixers, if there's, you know, say a Supreme Court case that's involving medicine and law, we can bring professors in to maybe debate the issue before it actually goes up to the Supreme Court to maybe predict what will happen to things like that. So we try to keep it current and something interesting for all students, even if they're not interested in pursuing a career in health law, it's still something that that they could get involved in.
