Credits and Grades

Each of the courses counts for 2 semester hours of credit (for law schools using the quarter system, each course is equivalent to 3 quarter hours of credit).  Participants may take two courses if they wish. There is no academic credit for participating in the French clerkship program.

Grading policies in the program will be the same as regular courses of study at the University of Iowa College of Law. Regular class attendance and class participation are required. Grades will be determined primarily by performance on the final exam, but the instructor may choose to incorporate class participation and other factors as an element of grading.

Non-Iowa saw students should consult with their own schools about transfer of credits earned in the program; transfer credit and grades are subject to acceptance by the student's school. It is unlikely that participation in this, or any, summer session at another law school may be used to accelerate graduation. Students should consult with their home school concerning this matter.
