School of Law Dean

Dean's Study Fellow Barry University School of Law is currently seeking student Dean's Study Fellows. The Dean's Study Fellow is a part-time, temporary student position working 5-10 hours per week. The Dean's Study Fellow is responsible for teaching study and learning skills to other students and devising and modeling study strategies to enable students to master the subject matter of their courses and acts as a mentor and role model to new students to ease the transition into law school.

The Dean's Study Fellows will plan, prepare, and participate in weekly workshops as part of the Comprehensive Legal Academic Success Program (CLASP). Each group of Dean's Study Fellows is responsible for creating the lesson plan by providing specific details of the workshop.

Dean's Study Fellows will collaborate with 1L and 2L class professors in order to make the weekly workshops relevant to students. Dean's Study Fellows should make every effort to serve as an ambassador of the Comprehensive Legal Academic Success Program (CLASP) when approaching a professor.

The Comprehensive Legal Academic Success Program (CLASP) has contributed to the success of many students since its inception in 2003; Therefore, Dean's Study Fellows should make every effort to market themselves, the workshops, and the Comprehensive Legal Academic Success Program (CLASP) to encourage students to participate.

Many students will want to meet with Dean's Study Fellows individually, particularly if a fellow has the same professor the student has for a certain course. Dean's Study Fellows must be available to meet individually with any student seeking academic counseling. It is not necessary for fellows to hold office hours at a designated time and place; however, Dean's Study Fellows should provide days and times when they are available to meet individually with students by appointment if so requested. In person meetings are encouraged to take place in the Comprehensive Legal Academic Success Program (CLASP) office or conference room.

In order to plan and improve the program each year, it is necessary to track how Dean's Study Fellows spend their time. Time should be recorded in 15-minute increments (0.25), and it should be recorded on a daily basis to reduce the risk of inaccuracies.
