After completing a set of required first-year courses exploring fundamental legal concepts and one elective, students plan their own course of study for the next two years from a rich menu of mainstream, specialized, clinical, and perspective offerings. Second- and third-year courses cover the range of specialties within the legal profession, allowing students to sample liberally and follow their professional interests in focusing on a particular career specialization, write for one of the school's four student-edited law journals, pursue joint degrees in law-related graduate programs, or simply obtaining the widest possible exposure to the legal landscape. Second- and third-year students have only a few requirements to fulfill before graduating. They must take Constitutional Law II and complete a course in Legal Ethics as well as completing the necessary writing units. In order to graduate, each student must receive four writing units over and above the writing requirements of the first year. The units can be completed through a combination of courses and activities that carry a writing unit, including seminar papers, independent research papers, work on any of the College's four journals, Legal Clinic, Moot Court Board, and advanced appellate advocacy activities. Please note that two of the four writing units must be earned in courses (including clinic and seminars) or through independent research in which there is direct and ongoing faculty supervision.
