Computing and Information Technology

The mission of Howard University School of Law Information Technology is to provide quality technical support with respect to innovative methods to enhance technological capabilities that will enable faculty, students, and staff access to information and resources.

Howard University School of Law Information Technology provides a unique mixture of expertise. We have undergone numerous technology upgrades over the past year. Our network has been rewired to support fiber optic throughout the Law School and the Law Library. Technical capabilities include two smart classrooms, state of the art training rooms and a fully wireless campus.

HUSL have put together a unique blend of Information Technology professionals to continuously seek and improve new and innovative technical approaches to networking and computing that will enhance researching capabilities for the faculty, students, and staff. We also seek to provide support and empower students with a technical advantage in all legal research.
