Greetings:
This summer, the Law School will offer a broad selection of course
offerings, included various "core courses" and courses required
for Diploma Privilege and/or graduation. Numerous Clinical
Programs, of course, will also be in operation.
A list of the courses currently being planned for Summer 2009 appears at
the end of this message. One or two courses may still be added to the
list & there are some opportunities for interested students to advise
re certain scheduling preferences (see below).
(Note: Due to high demand on the part of
rising 2Ls, instead of offering Bus Orgs II in the 13-Week Session, we
will instead offer Bus Orgs I).
As you may be aware, the University Registrar's Office has already
sent out e-mails to all students regarding Web registration for Summer
2009. Please do not worry that the date for summer enrollment
has passed. Unlike some Fall or Spring courses at the Law
School, summer courses rarely, if ever, fill up. We can typically
accommodate all interested students. I
will send out a subsequent notice (next week) when actual enrollment for
Summer 2009 Law courses and clinics will commence.
One important preliminary note regarding credit
limits. In Intersession, a student may only take one
course (but the one-credit Professional Responsibilities course does not
count against this limit). For the entire Summer Term, Law Students
may take a maximum of approximately 16 credits (not counting the Summer
Session in Germany).
