Independent Study
Students may engage in independent study with a fulltime faculty member; however, no more than three hours of Independent Research may count toward the J.D. degree.
Approval for three credit hour Independent Research projects will be given rarely and only for very outstanding projects. Two credit hour Independent Research projects are recommended.
A student may register for only one Independent Research project each semester.
Approval for Independent Research must be granted by the professor and the Senior Assistant Dean for Students/Academic Services before registering for the hours. Forms for this purpose are available in the Records Office.
Independent studies must be supervised by a full time faculty member.
