7363. Experiential Research and Writing Tutorial

In this tutorial, students who are concurrently engaged in paid or unpaid summer legal work prepare a research paper of no fewer than 15 pages under the supervision of a faculty member. Paper topics must relate to the student's concurrent legal work and may address substantive or procedural law, the role and conduct of legal professionals, the structure and workings of legal systems, or other matters pertinent to the student¿s practice venue. The instructor provides students with guidance and feedback on topic selection, legal research methodology, and scholarly legal writing. Students will hone their legal research, writing and analytical skills while gaining deeper insight into the legal practice venue in which they are engaged, and legal practice and the legal profession generally. Enrollment requires prior permission of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. This is a one-credit pass/fail tutorial offered only during the summer term. It does not satisfy the Upper-Class Writing Requirement, the Practice-Based Learning Requirement, or the LLM Writing Requirement. Students may enroll in it no more than twice.
