Students who excel in the law school program and graduate in the top 10% of their class can be placed in the Order of Coif, the equivalent of legal education at Phi Beta Kappa. Membership in the Coif represents the highest academic achievement in law studies. The University of Georgia received institutional membership in 1977 after meeting strict qualification criteria. About 80 U.S. law schools have a chapter in their institution. Law students can enroll in the Environmental Ethics Certificate Program for the Graduate Certificate. In order for a law student to receive the certificate, he/she must, with the permission of the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, take two mandatory courses outside of law school, namely Ecological Concepts (EETH/ECOL 6200) and Environmental Ethics (EETH/PHIL 6220). An applicant for an environmental certificate must also enroll in an additional course in environmental ethics; Law students can meet this requirement by taking the Environmental Dispute Resolution Course (EETH/JURI 7870). The student must also attend a Tuesday evening seminar series (EETH 6000), which is an ungraded weekly seminar that does not count towards the J.D. Finally, the certificate holder must take two additional courses and an in-depth thesis on an environmental topic. Most courses in the Faculty of Law`s Environmental Studies program are considered elective courses at the ECPE. Students may complete the paper required by the EECP with the same paper they use to meet the law school`s Capstone writing requirement if the paper meets each individual`s requirements independently.

This is because they receive the most applications and have a limited number of places to fill. As a result, they have to reject more applicants than lower-ranking schools that receive fewer applications. The acceptance rate depends on the number of applications in a given year and the number of spaces available. Ultimately, admission requirements determine the acceptance rate. This is because fewer students are applying to schools where the requirements are more stringent.
