The John Marshall Law School recognizes the diversity of religious practices of its students, faculty and
staff. Therefore, we have established a new policy of attendance to accommodate religious observance. In addition
to the 25 % allowed absences, students will be excused without penalty for two class sessions in each course
enrolled every semester.
We further recognize that some faculty may choose to cancel and reschedule class to accommodate religious observance.
