If a placement will include on-site classes, this is noted in the individual descriptions. Every effort is made by the supervisors to accomodate the students when scheduling these classes. Interns, however, are expected to attend these classes if offered. Field placement credits count towards law school residency in the semester when the placement is taken. The credits afforded a placement are never increased or decreased on an ad hoc basis.
All placements are graded pass-fail.
A student may take only ONE field placement each semester and may not take the same placement twice. Students who are on academic probation may not take a field placement in the probationary semester. First year students must have a cumulative average of 2.55 at the end of the fall semester to apply for placements for the following fall. Occasionally the Skills Training and Field Placement Committee grants individual requests for special field placements. Requests must be for placement with an agency where the law school does not have a placement and which will offer a placement experience not found in any other placement.
