INSTRUCTIONS
FOR REGISTRATION - SPRING 2008
2nd and 3rd YEAR STUDENTS
Students may use the Rutgers Touch-Tone or Website Registration
System to register for the Spring 2008 semester.
Registration is open through close of business, November 19, 2007.
Access is limited on Saturday and Sunday. Complete the Touch-Tone
Registration Worksheet before using
either system. Be prepared with the Registration Index
Numbers--your time will be limited. Also, be especially careful
when entering the Registration Index Number as an incorrect number
could result in an incorrect registration or no registration at
all.
On-Line Registration
Log in using your 9 digit RUID (not your netID) and your 4
digit Personal Access Code (month and day of your birth, mmdd).
Touch-Tone Registration
1. The telephone numbers for Rutgers Touch Tone Registration
are (973) 353-1999; (732) 445-1999;
or (856) 225-1999.
2. Enter the semester code which is 1 for the Spring.
3. Enter your 9-digit RUID number.
4. Enter your Personal Access Code, (month and day of
your birth, mmdd, unless you have changed it to another
four digit number.)
5. Enter the Action Code which is 2.
6. The system will give you all further instructions.
If the system tells you that you need a special Permission
Number, you must see Dean Garbaccio to obtain the number.
The required numbers for registration are listed on the Spring
2008 Course Offerings Sheet. BE SURE TO CORRECTLY LIST THE SCHOOL, SUBJECT AND
COURSE NUMBERS, REGISTRATION INDEX NUMBERS AND SECTION NUMBERS.
All upperclass course section numbers are to be listed as Section
01 unless otherwise stated on the Course Offerings List. BE
VERY CAREFUL AND ACCURATE WITH THE REGISTRATION INDEX NUMBERS.
A wrong or missing number will result in an incorrect registration
or no registration at all.
Any courses which are listed as "B/A credits" must have the
number of credits for which you are registering recorded.
If you are using the Touch-Tone system, the number must equal
three (3) digits--e.g., if you are registering for 2
credits you would list it as 020. If you fail to input the
B/A credits, you will not have any credits listed for the course
on your official computer registration and your total credits will
be incorrect.
DECLARATION OF FULL-TIME, PART-TIME
STATUS FORM: Each student
must complete and submit a Declaration
of Full-time, Part-Time Status Form each semester.
SIGN-IN REGISTRATION: Each student must submit a
sign-in registration form (see links at left). Please carefully read the
Buckley Amendment
document. This information is used to compile a class list and to determine final student
enrollment. Please print all information carefully on this form.
The blocking of information on this form is for internal law
school purposes only. However, you should be aware that directory
information is also available on the Rutgers Info System and thus
is available to users of the Internet both inside and outside the
University. This information is drawn from admission and
registration information in the computer system. To change or restrict
access to this information, go to the Rutgers People Database at
https://www.acs.rutgers.edu/studentdir/ and login using your NetID and password.
If your permanent home address and/or telephone number is new
for the semester, go to
https://rutadmin.rutgers.edu/addupdt to change it in central University records.
TERM BILL: A pre-printed term bill for the Spring
semester and instructions for completing it will be sent to you
under separate cover from New Brunswick. The bill will reflect
the charges you must pay for the Spring semester and the payment
due date.
Full-time students (those registering for 12 or more
credits) are charged full-time tuition and fees.
Part-time students (those registering for 8 to 11 credits)
are charged by the credit hour and assessed part-time fees.
If you are a part-time student and add credits during the add
period to the number of credits for which you registered and were
billed and paid, you will be accountable for the extra money due.
If during the registration period or the first ten (10) days of
the new semester, you should drop below the number of credits for
which you registered and paid, the University will automatically
refund any monies due you. There is no refund of tuition or fees
for credits dropped after the first 10 days of the semester.
Remember: As a part-time student, if you are petitioning and
registering for 12 credits, you must pay full-time tuition and
fees. The University policy is that 12 credits is full-time
status. Again, if you should drop below 12 credits during the
first ten days of the new semester, the University will refund any
monies due you. In order to receive a refund, you must telephone
or write to the Bursar.
If, with permission only, you increase to 12 credits, the
University will automatically bill you for full-time tuition and
fees and you will be responsible for payment of the increased
tuition and fees.
Please read the term bill instructions carefully. EACH
STUDENT, INCLUDING A STUDENT ON FINANCIAL AID OR SCHOLARSHIP, IS
REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A TERM BILL. IF YOU DO NOT SUBMIT
THE TERM BILL WITH PROPER PAYMENT BY THE DUE DATE
PRINTED ON THE BILL, YOUR REGISTRATION WILL BE CANCELLED.
You will then be subject to a $125.00 late payment fee.
In addition, you may be required to pay a $50.00 late registration
fee to reinstate your spring registration.
It is the student's responsibility to obtain, complete and
return the term bill on time. If you do not receive a term
bill by December 20 or have any questions concerning the bill,
please contact the Rutgers-Newark Business Office, Student
Services Building, 3rd floor, Newark, N. J. (973) 353-5423.
STUDENTS WITH FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS:
Transcripts - In accordance with university procedures, no
student or former student may obtain a transcript of his/her
academic record if he/she is under any financial obligation to the
university.
Diplomas - Diplomas will be withheld from any student who
is under any financial obligation to the university.
Registration - A student's registration will be cancelled
prior to the beginning of a semester if he/she has any single or
combination of financial obligations that total $100.
FULL-TIME VS. PART-TIME STATUS FOR TUITION, FINANCIAL AID AND
STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE:
a. Full-time tuition and fees will be charged by the
University to a student who registers for 12 or more credits for
the semester. Full-time students who drop to 11 or fewer credits
after the first 10 days of classes will not receive a refund of
tuition and fees for the credits dropped.
b. Part-time tuition and fees will be charged by the
University to any student who registers for 11 or fewer credits
for the semester. Part-time students who drop credits after the
first 10 days of classes will not receive a refund of tuition and
fees for the credits dropped.
c. Financial Aid: Rutgers offers a full range of
financial aid programs, including federal loans, federal
work-study, and scholarships and grants. To be eligible for
financial aid, a student must have a Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) or FAFSA Renewal on file with the Department
of Education. (FAFSA is a need-analysis tool used by the Dept. of
Education and the university to determine eligibility for
available programs.)
Rutgers participates in the Federal Direct Student Loan
Program. Under this program, most law students (day & evening) are
eligible to borrow up to a maximum of $l8,500/year in Direct
Federal Stafford Loans, subject to their cost of attendance and
need. These loans are awarded in some combination of subsidized
and/or unsubsidized loans. Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans, as
well as the Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Work-Study Funds, NJ
State Grants, and EOF Grants are need-based; Unsubsidized Federal
Stafford Loans have no need-based pre-requisites. In addition,
private educational loans are available to help bridge the gap
between the federal loan programs and the student's cost of
attendance.
Rutgers also offers merit-based and need-based institutional
scholarships. All first year students are automatically considered
for these scholarships by virtue of applying and being admitted to
the law school. All returning students are considered for the 2nd,
3rd and 4th year scholarship awards by completing and returning
the scholarship application which is available at the end of the
Spring term. Students should also investigate the availability of
private sources of funding, such as awards offered by civic,
social or religious organizations.
Contact the law school Financial Aid Office, Room 228, (973)
353-1702, for further information regarding any of the above
programs or the main University Financial Aid Office, Blumenthal
Hall, 249 University Avenue, 3rd floor, (973) 353-5151. Current
information is also available on
studentaid.rutgers.edu (the Rutgers University
website).
d. Student Health Service and Insurance: Full-time
students (those registering for 12 or more credits and thus paying
a higher student fee) are automatically (1) eligible to use the
Student Health Center and (2) covered by the University's basic
accident and sickness insurance plan. Part-time students may
purchase both these services for approximately $90.00 per
semester. There are two policies of major medical insurance which
will cost approximately $210/240 additional per semester. Further
information may be obtained from
Student Health
Services, Blumenthal Hall.
RESIDENCY STATUS FOR TUITION PURPOSES:
New Students: Residency status for newly admitted
students is determined by the admissions office at the time of
admission. Appeals made by students to such decisions should be
sent to the Law School Director of Admissions. If still
unresolved, further appeal should be forwarded to the associate
vice president for student services for final adjudication.
Currently Enrolled Students: Residency status for
enrolled students is determined by the area registrars. Students
who are seeking a change in their official place of domicile from
out-of-state residency to New Jersey residency must file a
Residence Analysis Form with the Newark Registrar's Office no
later than the last week of the term for which the change of
residency for in-state tuition payment is sought. If a student
files the form after the last week of that term, the student
forfeits the right to a residency assessment for that term. The
Residence Analysis Form may be obtained from the Law School
Admissions Office by the students who are in their initial term
and from the Newark Registrar's Office thereafter.
Appeals made by students from the area registrar's decision
should be directed to the university registrar. If still
unresolved, further appeal should be forwarded to the associate
vice president for student services for final adjudication.
CREDIT REQUIREMENTS: By law school rules all
full-time students must register for a minimum of twelve (12)
credits. Permission of Assistant Dean Andrew Rothman
must be obtained before registering for more than 16 credits;
advance approval is required. The Registrar's Office will
not accept any registration forms indicating more than 16 credits
unless approved by Assistant Dean Rothman. Students carrying
an unauthorized overload after the fourth week of classes will
have their overload administratively reduced to the authorized
level and will be assigned a grade of "W" for the course. Note
that the overload limit applies to interdisciplinary courses
(q.v.) as well.
Part-time, evening students must take a minimum of 8 credits
but not more than 11 credits in any semester.
Students are urged to consult the current Student Handbook
on academic and residence requirements for graduation and general
registration policies and procedures. Part-time students please
see "Special Information for Part-time Students" included in this
packet. Also read item number 3 above concerning tuition,
financial aid and student health insurance for full- and part-time
students.
Please note that any student who registers for two courses in
which any of the class hours conflict or for a course which he or
she has previously successfully completed will be denied credit.
N.B. If you are a member of the Rutgers Law Review,
Computer and Technology Law Journal, Race and the Law Review,
Rutgers Law Record or Women’s Rights Law Reporter, you may only
count a maximum of six (6) credits of the following
enterprises: Independent Research, Judicial Externship, Attorney
General Externship, NLRB Externship, Field Externships, Research
Assistant, Teaching Assistant, Moot Court or Mock Trial
Competition or various competition boards, toward the 84 credits
needed for graduation.
REQUIRED COURSES: A student in any of the following
categories must take the courses when next given. A student
who:
a. has received a grade of Unsatisfactory without credit (F) in
a required course;
b. did not take a required course when it was first offered to
his/her class (as when the student was out-of-residence during
that semester);
c. has been required by the Committee on Scholastic Standing to
repeat a course;
d. must take a required course following transfer from another
law school;
e. transferred from part-time to full-time status and vice

Law, Legal Res. & Writing I & II, Constitutional Law, Civil
Procedure, & a first-year Elective.
Permission to defer taking a required course when it is next
given may be granted only by Associate Dean Frances Bouchoux. It
is the student's obligation to be sure that any requirements of
this paragraph are met.
Only certain sections of required first-year courses are open
to upperclass students. You must secure prior permission to
register for these courses. Please call Dean Garbaccio (353-5396)
to find out the section, course and registration numbers of these
courses.
Students who delay complying with these requirements may find
themselves closed out of their preferred sections of upperclass
and required courses.
Students who do not register for a required course which they
must complete are subject to being automatically assigned to a
section and dropped from one of their elective courses, if need
be.
MANDATORY COURSE IN LEGAL ETHICS: Any student who was
admitted to the law school beginning with the Fall 2000 semester,
or thereafter, will be required to successfully complete a
one-semester course in legal ethics in order to graduate. Either
of the following courses satisfies the requirement: Legal
Profession (2 cr.) or Professional Responsibility (3 cr.). You may
take only one of these two courses.
COURSE AND SCHEDULE CHANGES: A period for altering your
registration will be held at the start of the new semester.
However, we urge all students to carefully select all their
courses now, to prevent being closed out of a course in January.
A student may add a course during the first week of classes
without obtaining approval (providing the course is not
lotteried and open.) Thereafter, students may add a course
only with the permission of the professor and the Assistant Dean.
This permission is not routinely granted.
A student may withdraw from a course without permission
during the first ten days of the semester. During the first five
days of the new semester, courses may be dropped by using the
Touch-Tone or Website registration. Thereafter, all courses must
be dropped by using a "Change of Course Form"(Drop/Add Slip)
available in Dean Garbaccio’s office, Room 170. In an examination
course, withdrawals will be permitted until the day of the
examination prior to the start of the actual examination. In a
non-exam course, seminar or clinic, withdrawals will be permitted
until the final official meeting of the class and provided that
the instructor has consented to the withdrawal. A grade of "W"
will be entered on the record in every case for a course dropped
after the first 10 days of the new semester.
A grade of "F" will be entered as the final grade for a student
who does not sit for his/her examination (unless officially
excused by the Dean's Office) or who does not complete the course,
seminar or clinic work when required by the instructor.
If you desire to drop and/or add one or more courses for any
reason, you may do so without approval only during the following
periods. Transactions done during the first week of the new
semester are to be completed by using the Touch-Tone or Website
Registration System; thereafter, all courses must be added by
using a "Change of Course Form" (Drop/Add Slip) which will be
available in Dean Garbaccio's office, and may be submitted during
the hours of 10:00 a.m.-12:00 noon and 2:00-4:00 p.m.
a. Period to add: January 7 to January 11
b. Period to drop: January 7 to day of examination or to
the final official meeting of the class, seminar, or clinic*
After the first five days of classes, you will no longer be
permitted to use Touch-Tone or Website registration. All
transactions must be done by using a "Drop/Add Form which is not
complete it is signed by Dean Garbaccio.
IMPORTANT: *For every course dropped after the first ten
(10) days of classes, January 18, 2007, a grade of "W" will be
assigned for the course. In addition, there will be no refund
of tuition or fees for any course dropped after the first (10)
days of classes.
NOTE: Confirmation of registration by accessing telephone or
on-line registration or what is printed on your term
bill will reflect only those courses for which you originally
registered. It will not include information on any
lotteries which might be held. Therefore, you must check
the posted lottery lists on the Dean's Bulletin Board outside of
Room 170 in order to confirm your final registration status.
LOTTERY: If a course(s) is/are overenrolled, the list
of students who will be permitted to take the course(s) will be
posted before the beginning of the Spring semester on the Dean's
Bulletin Board on the first floor outside of Room 170.
Students are to check these lists before attending classes and
buying books. If you are lotteried from a course, you
must drop the course at the beginning of the new semester. If
your registration is returned after the due date for registration,
you will not be included in any lotteries that may be held.
OPTING: In October 2000 the faculty passed the
following revision to the grading option system effective with
students who matriculate in the law school in the Fall 2000
semester or thereafter:
Students may not opt for Grading System II (Pass/D/F):
a. for any first-year required course (Contracts, Torts,
Criminal Law, Property, Constitutional Law, Civil Procedure or
Legal Research and Writing I & II) or any clinic.
b. more than once per academic time period (semester or summer
session), and they may not opt for more than a total of 12 credits
over their entire law school career. Enterprises that are graded
on a Pass/Fail basis (e.g. journal participation credits, teaching
assistant, moot court, etc.) do not count toward this limitation.
Opting for the Pass-D, and F grading system for the Spring 2007
semester must take place during the first 21 days of the semester.
Since school begins on Monday, January 7, 2008 the last day to
opt will be Monday, January 28th (Saturday and
Sundays are included in the 21 days). All students are expected to
register their choice for a grading system by 4:00 p.m. on January
29th. No exception to this rule will be granted. You need
to opt only if you wish to be graded under System II (Pass-D and
F). If you do not register a choice, you will automatically be
graded under System I (A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C-, D and F). The
opting forms are available after the first week of the new
semester in Room 170. If you opt for System II (Pass-D and F) any
letter grade(s) received in the course(s) will never be released
to anyone for any reason.
NON-SCHEDULED COURSES
INDEPENDENT RESEARCH: Any student who wishes to do an
Independent Research project must prepare an outline of the
project on the Application for Independent Research Form
(white) available in Dean Garbaccio’s office, Room 170. It must
then be submitted to the law school professor who will be
supervising the work for approval. (The professor must be a
full-time member of the faculty.) After the law school professor
has signed the document, it must be given to Assistant Dean Andrew
Rothman for final approval. The signed approval slip must then be
submitted to Dean Garbaccio's office. Permission must be secured
by the end of the first week of the new semester. Be sure the
approval slip includes the number of credits the project will be
worth--1, 2 or 3 credits are permitted for each project.
JUDICIAL EXTERNSHIP: Any student who has secured a Judicial
Externship for the Spring semester must complete a Judicial
Externship Form (yellow) available in Dean Garbaccio’s office,
Room 170. Please indicate on the form the name of the Judge and in
which court he or she presides. The form must be signed by Dean

externship is worth--2 or 3 credits are permitted. The signed
approval form must be returned to Dean Garbaccio's office.
N.B. All students who register for Judicial Externship this
Spring must attend a regularly scheduled class entitled Externship
Seminar taught by Dean Walker. Please note the class is scheduled
for the 6th period on Thursday for the Spring semester. You may
not register for any other course that meets during that class
period. It will address common issues of substance and procedure,
including one session on ethics and one session on jurisdictional
issues. In addition to class attendance, students must complete

If you have been selected as a Rutgers Teaching Associate for
the Legal Research and Writing Program, you are to
register for the course entitled "RUTGERS TEACHING
ASSOCIATE" listed in the Spring Course Offerings List in

ATTORNEY GENERAL EXTERNSHIP: The faculty advisor for this
externship is Assistant Dean Pascal Walker. Approximately eight to
ten externship positions are available during the semester in the
Newark office of the New Jersey Attorney General (the office is a
five-minute walk from the law school). These positions will be in
the sections on Civil Rights, Consumer Affairs, Health
Law/Profession Regulation, New Jersey Transit and UMDNJ. Each
student is under the direct supervision of a Deputy Attorney
General and will be given research and writing assignments, as
well as an opportunity to participate in litigation activities and
in-house seminars. A full description of the program is available
from Dean Walker.
The externship earns three academic credits and requires a
minimum of 210 hours over the course of the semester. Students
wishing to apply for the externship should leave a resume, writing
sample and an unofficial transcript with Dean Walker no later than
December 8. The Attorney General will select those students
invited to participate in the program by the beginning of the
Spring semester. This program is open only to Rutgers-Newark
students.
All students who register for this externship must attend a
regularly scheduled seminar at the Attorney General’s Office.
ATTENDANCE AT THE SEMINAR CLASSES IS MANDATORY. However,
students may be excused from some of the seminars depending on the
number and subjects of in-house seminars offered by the Attorney
General’s office.
In addition to the 210 externship hours to earn 3 credits,
students must submit a completed evaluation form and two writing
samples they completed during the externship.
FIELD PLACEMENT: A student who is accepted for a position
in an agency outside the law school must register for the course
entitled Field Placement and also complete an Application for
Field Placement Form (light purple)which is available in Dean
Garbaccio’s office, Room 170. It must be signed by the faculty
sponsor and Dean Rothman. This course is graded Pass/Fail.
NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD (NLRB) EXTERNSHIP: The
faculty advisor for this enterprise is Professor James Pope.
Application: Students interested in participating must
obtain an "NLRB Externship Packet" from Prof. Pope's secretary,
Faculty Secretaries Office, Room 480A. Application forms for the
fall semester must be completed and returned December 8.
Hours of work per week: 15 (to be scheduled on three
consecutive days)
Location: The Newark regional office of the NLRB is in the
Federal Building on Broad Street.
Eligibility: Second and Third year students who have
successfully completed or are concurrently enrolled in labor law.
Description of work: The National Labor Relations Board
(NLRB) enforces federal statutes governing industrial relations.
All NLRB externs will be assigned a wide variety of tasks related
to the processing and handling of "live" cases. Students will
assist NLRB attorneys in their day-to-day responsibilities. A
significant portion of their time will be devoted to researching
substantive, evidentiary and procedural issues, which they will
document through legal memoranda. Participants will also be called
upon to interview witnesses and prepare affidavits, and, if
possible, handle a few simple investigations on their own (under
their supervisor's close supervision). They will be invited to
attend any staff training seminars that are conducted during their
tenure.
In addition, NLRB externs will attend an occasional externship
seminar at the law school.
All necessary numbers needed to register for unscheduled
courses are listed on the Spring Course Offerings List included in
this packet.
INTERDISCIPLINARY COURSES: Students may take up to six
(6) credits (and occasionally nine (9) credits) of law-related,
graduate-level courses at other Rutgers divisions, for credit
toward a J.D. degree. Interdisciplinary credit is intended to
permit students to relate law to some other field of inquiry, not
to acquire instruction in legal subjects outside the environment
of the law school. Therefore, permission will not be granted for
courses that essentially duplicate courses available at the law
school. See Assistant Dean Andrew Rothman prior to registering
for information and advance approval.
Students may also take courses at other Rutgers divisions on a
not-for-credit basis. Note that the course-load limitation (to 16
credits unless special permission has been obtained) applies as
well to interdisciplinary courses, regardless of whether they are
taken for credit. Advance approval is required.
See Assistant Dean Andrew Rothman for information about
joint-degree programs with the school of Criminal Justice
(leading to a J.D.- M.A.) or the Graduate School of Urban
Planning, New Brunswick (leading to a J.D.- M.C.R.P). Course
descriptions and schedules may be obtained directly from the
Deans' Offices at the respective schools
ENROLLING IN EVENING CLASSES: Upperclass day students
may enroll in evening courses on a space-available basis. Evening
students have first preference on all evening courses . Evening
students may enroll in day school courses but will be on an equal
basis with upperclass day students.
RESIDENCE CREDIT FOR SUMMER SESSION WORK: Students who
complete two consecutive summer session of five credits each may
combine these summer sessions in order to earn one full semester
of residence. This rule applies to both full-time and part-time
students.
EXAMINATION DEFERMENTS: Students are expected, whenever
possible, to anticipate examination schedule problems at the time
of registration. The examination schedule is published with
registration materials for this purpose, and examination deferrals
will not be granted because the student has too may
examinations scheduled on consecutive days. For similar reasons,
students who anticipate that medical or personal problems will
interfere with a heavy examination schedule are expected to
register for non-examination courses, register for a reduced or
part-time load, or to withdraw from school for a semester.
Deferral requests based on examination schedule problems that
should have been anticipated at the time of registration will not
be granted except in cases of extreme hardship. Consult Assistant
Dean Andrew Rothman if you have further questions.
Students wishing to enroll in courses whose classes do not
conflict but whose examinations do, may see Assistant Dean Rothman
about deferring one of the exams.
CLASS ATTENDANCE: Regular class attendance is required
in all classes. Every instructor shall deny students whose
unexcused absences exceed 20% of the total number of class
sessions the opportunity to sit for their final examination or to
submit a final term paper pursuant to the Law School Faculty's
attendance policy. In upperclass courses which depend upon student
participation (e.g., seminars, clinics, Appellate Advocacy, Trial
Presentation, etc.), the instructor may drop the student from the
course but deny the student permission to withdraw with a "W"
grade. In such an event, the final grade for that student in the
course would be an "F".
In a first year required course, students may not withdraw, and
a student dismissed from the class for non-attendance by the
instructor will have a grade of "F" entered, absent special action
of the Committee on Scholastic Standing.
INCOMPLETES FROM THE 2007-08 ACADEMIC YEAR:
Unless the instructor sets an earlier date, all work for an
academic enterprise must be submitted to the instructor in final
form no later than two weeks before the date when grades must be
submitted to the University for recording for the semester during
which the enterprise was taken. Generally, this means that work
from the Spring semester cannot be submitted beyond June 1, and
work from the Fall semester cannot be submitted beyond February 1.
Summer work is generally due by September 1. Extensions beyond
these deadlines (which will be fixed each semester and noted in
the registration materials) will be granted by Dean Rothman only
under the same conditions as for exams deferrals--extreme illness,
religious reasons, or sudden, unforeseeable and unavoidable
emergency.
The due date for Incompletes for the Fall 2007 Semester is January 31, 2008.
Upon certification by the instructor that substantial progress
has been made towards completion of the work, a short deferral
will be granted. Generally, this is not more than a few days.
CLINICS: Students are to register for a clinic by using
the Touch-Tone or Website Registration in the same manner as for
any other course except the clinic credits must be entered when
using either system. For example, when using Touch-Tone
registration you are asked to enter the number of credits for a
clinic which is worth 6 credits, you would enter 060 because all
"By Arrangement" (B/A) credits must be entered as a three digit
number. When using Website registration, you are to click on the
appropriate number of credits.
REMINDER: Please note that only third-year students may
register for Urban Legal Clinic-Section (1); but second
and third year students may register for Section (2)(Special
Education Clinic) & Section (3) (Community Law Program).
Part-time students must have permission of the clinical
faculty before registering for any clinic.
Students may only register for one clinic per semester.
In addition, the first time you register for any clinic, you must
register for the total number of credits the clinic is worth.
For example, if the clinic is worth 6 credits (B/A to 6 credits),
you must register for 6 credits.
