With the permission of the dean, a student may enroll in a course in another school or college of the University. To count toward graduation from the School of Law, the course must be a graduate course and must be related to a course of study offered in the School of Law. No more than six semester hours of such work may be counted. The student must have a grade point average of at least 1.90 on all work taken in the School of Law. To avoid scholastic difficulty, the student should complete all required work except the seminar before the final semester.
Writing seminars are small classes that emphasize writing and group discussion.
Each writing seminar involves written work by the student that embodies the results of research. Students may take additional writing seminars if space is available. The program leading to the degree is designed for students of high ability seeking academic work beyond the Doctor of Jurisprudence degree or its equivalent. The School of Law and the University's Language and Area Center for Latin American Studies offer a curriculum in Latin American and international law for the Master of Laws degree. The one-year program takes advantage of the unique faculty talents and course offerings of the University to add a special focus to the existing LLM program.
