Give Feedback About This Site

Thanks for visiting the Law School's new and improved website, which was launched June 18, 2009.

Maintaining a website as large as this -- let alone moving it from one software platform to another -- is a massive undertaking, and we couldn't do it without your help. We expect that over next few weeks we will discover broken links, missing files, and other unforeseen consequences of our software and hardware migration. It will take some time to smooth all the rough edges -- if you discover a problem, please let us know, and we'll try to get it fixed as soon as possible!

You can leave comments below... and thanks for your help!

Note: Users of Internet Explorer 6 may experience some problems with the display of menus. We're working on fixing this.

How come when you click on

How come when you click on "Faculty & Staff" it doesn't take you to a directory of the faculty? I just see the picture of one faculty member?

Faculty & Staff

Submitted by arester on January 31, 2012 - 3:53pm.

You'll notice that "Faculty & Staff" is located in a menu labeled "Information For:". If you click on the link in the second row called "The Faculty" you'll find the directory of faculty. Hope that helps!

can't stay in standard site

Submitted by Anonymous on October 24, 2011 - 10:01am.

The mobile is not designed to help current students. It is a gimmicky site aimed at prospective students and alumni. What makes this more frustrating is when you try to go to the standard site, everytime you click a link it takes you back to the mobile site which has none of the information you need. I don't mind the attempt at a mobile site but the glitch where you cannot stay on the standard site needs to be fixed.

Thanks for the feedback

You're right, that is a bug. I will see what I can do to rectify it.

If there are particular things that you would like to see on the mobile site, please do let us know - it's a work in progress and we hope to make it as useful as possible for all of our audiences.

You will need to have cookies enabled on your phone so that the site will remember that you would like to see the standard site instead of the mobile site.

CLF website and other info

Submitted by Anonymous on October 19, 2009 - 11:28am.

Hello,

The website for the Chicago Law Foundation (CLF) is chicagolawfoundation.org. The law school website doesn't mention this anywhere. Could we at least fix this in the student organizations section and in the events section? That would be very useful.

Also, this year's public interest auction is on January 14, 2010 and this year's President of the CLF is Roger Sharpe at rsharpe@uchicago.edu. There is contrary information in the events section.

Thank you very much.

the website is disappointing

Submitted by Anonymous on October 18, 2009 - 12:08pm.

I am an alumna (2008). The website was 1000x better when I was a student here. The front page was simple, easy to navigate, and did not overload the viewer with stimuli. It focused the viewer on an interesting quip by one of our many distinguished professors and had a pleasing picture. Now when I come to the law school's website, it takes too much time to figure out what to look at or where to go for the information I seek, none of the information seems more important than the rest, and I'm annoyed and confused. In sum, this website reconfiguration makes using the website less efficient and less aesthetically pleasing. Anything would be better than this, including the old website (circa 2005).

Sorry that you're not having a good experience with the new website. We hope that after living with it for a while, it will start to grow on you; in the meantime, is there something we can help you find? As an alumna, we hope that the link on the top menu ("Information for... Alumni") will provide you much of the information you're seeking. If not, please let us know!

Submitted by Anonymous on August 7, 2009 - 10:40am.

The site looks great, but readability still suffers due to the gray text color. Why not just use black text on the white background?

I can understand deemphasizing certain elements with lighter text, but body text (i.e. your main content) should be made as readable as possible.

Font Color choice could be improved.

The gray font color is quite difficult to read.
