MyLaw will provide “one-stop-shopping” for all of the school’s internal web-related needs.  In addition to serving as a replacement for our previous course management system, ERes, the MyLaw portal offers a wealth of new features, including: targeted communications (to specific groups like 1Ls, 2Ls, 3Ls, LLMs, etc.); online instructor office hour reservations; library conference room reservations; a take-home exams/online paper turn in utility and more.  MyLaw will host content from Law School departments, which can be targeted to specific student groups, so that you will see only the information that is relevant to you. MyLaw will allow you to manage the communications you receive by department, organization and topic, both on your portal home page and through email.  Your MyLaw home page also will be automatically populated with links to your course pages each term.

Your MyLaw home page provides easy access to your current course pages.

It also has a customizable "My Links" section where you can add your own frequently used links.

MyLaw course pages have the following features:

1. Course Announcements, Cancellation Notices and Deadlines that also appear on your MyLaw portal home page as well as your course page.
2. Easier to use course documents library and better organization of course-related materials.
3. Drop Box Library for students to turn in non-anonymous papers and assignments
4. Discussion Board.

Communications on your MyLaw home page include:

1. My Reminders, which lists events you RSVP'd to, instructor office hours and Library Conference Room Reservations.  These can be easilty exported to your personal calendar.
2. School announcements and Opportunites from departments and programs within the school. 

You can sign up for office hours online with Instructors who choose to use this feature.

Library Conference Room Reservations moved to MyLaw in Spring 2012.

Targeted content means that you only see links to information that applies to you as a student, making internal content appear more streamlined.
