Recommended Software

Students of Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School are free to use whatever software they feel best suits their needs. However, the school recommends that students use programs that are compatible with the software installed on our Computer Lab PCs. This will allow the student to easily transfer documents between computers, submit assignments, and communicate with the faculty and staff of AJMLS.

Additionally, in order to protect your personal computer equipment, your private information, and the school’s network resources, it is highly recommended that students install the software programs listed below for personal security & privacy. These programs can prevent most forms of virus, spyware and other malicious programs.

It is strongly recommended that students be familiar with the proper usage of their own equipment and programs according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
