Developed Methods Juris Master students must achieve a 2.0 cumulative grade point average in order to receive their degrees.
All students receive small group instruction in their first year LRWA class.
The first semester is instructed and mentored by third year writing fellows. All juris master students will be given two standardized tests to ensure that they have mastered the fundamental skills of legal research, writing and analysis. The first test is given after the first semester of LRWA and specifically tests students' knowledge of legal citation. The second test will be given after the second semester of LRWA and specifically tests students' knowledge of legal writing and grammar rules. Students must achieve a score of 70 out of 100 on each test in order to pass.
