JD Students Study Skills

EAGLE Schedules 2021 – 1st & 2nd Year JD Students

by Admin

Here are the weekly schedules for our EAGLE Programs this year.

There are two programs for JD students – one for first year students, and another for second years – so make sure you are looking at the right one for you!

Don’t forget to register for EAGLE on Canvas by Tuesday 23 February. Registration is essential, but classes are optional so there is no commitment to attend each week (even though we would highly recommend it!).

Classes will be conducted online through Zoom – you will receive the link once you have registered and classes have been finalised later this week.

Please contact the EAGLE Program coordinators if you have any questions or issues: Jo (1st Year Program); Nathan & Ramon (2nd Year Program).
