Office of the Academic Dean
Welcome to the webpage of the Office of the Academic Dean. As the Academic Dean, I am responsible for overseeing curriculum delivery at the law school (determining which courses are taught, when they are taught, and who they are taught by) as well as interpreting and enforcing all academic policies.
On this webpage, you can find links to all academic policies at the University of Washington
School of Law. Should you ever have any questions that you cannot find the answer to, please do
not hesitate to contact me at or to schedule an appointment to meet with me through my assistant, Bernadette O’Grady, at or at 206-616-5822.
Respectfully Yours,
Peter Nicolas
Associate Dean for Academic Administration
Jeffrey & Susan Brotman Professor of Law
