How long is your semester?

Post by Paul Campos » Mon Jun 16, 2014 4:53 pm

I'd like to crowd-source the answer to the question of how long various law school semesters currently are.

Definition of the length of the semester: Number of weeks during which classes are in session, NOT COUNTING exam periods, reading days, or vacation days. So for example if fall classes at your school run from Monday August 25 through Friday November 28 (14 weeks), but this time period includes a total of five vacation days without classes, that's a 13-week semester.

Please PM me if you don't want to post the info regarding your school in this thread. Thanks in advance.

CLS

September 2 through December 5. Two days off for Thanksgiving and two other random Mondays as university holidays, so 13 weeks total if my math is right (but if I was good at math I wouldn't be at law school)
