Fall 2007

Students should register for 2-4 units of dissertation to engage in supervised research and writing which is expected to result in a paper of publishable quality. Any regular, full-time member of the faculty (including full-time visitors) may supervise students in this course upon agreement by the faculty member and the student. Other persons who teach in the JD program may supervise dissertation only upon the approval of the Administrative Board. A 1 unit registration for dissertation will be available only where the unit is to be added to a course where a paper is already required, in recognition that the student's paper will require substantially more work than that expected of other students in the course. Students may take a total of 4 units of dissertation during their educational experience at the Law Center.
