Courses Unlikely to be Offered in 2010-11:
Elective courses are offered yearly or in alternate years according to student demand, faculty availability, and other factors. We cannot guarantee that any course will be offered in a given year; but for your planning, the following courses are particularly unlikely to be offered in 2010-11, so consider taking a course on this list this spring if you are particularly interested in it.
|
Banking Law
Canon Law of Marriage
Credit and Payment Systems
Employment Discrimination
Genocide: Prevention and Deterrence |
|
Please note: the Genocide course will be offered again in the summer 2010 Rome program, but without a paper option. You will not be able to take both the spring and the summer course.
Courses with Special Enrollment Procedures:
The following courses have special registration materials or procedures. You will not be able to register for them online.
| Course | Contact | Link to forms/Instructions |
| Bankruptcy Clinic | Virgil Wiebe or Kathy Mann Arnott | |
| Business Externship | Associate Dean Tom Berg | Instructions |
| Judicial Externship | Assistant Dean Lisa Brabbit | Instructions |
| Legal Analysis Review | Scott Swanson | Instructions |

Courses Outside of UST Law:
Law school policies permit you to receive credits for such courses, but limit the number of credits permitted.
Prerequisites:
Please pay attention to prerequisites (marked with Xs in Class Finder). If you register for a course without having completed the prerequisite(s), you will be dropped. Note that required upper-level courses are prerequisites for a number of elective courses and externships.
Courses the Week Before Regular Classes:
Two intensive courses will be offered during the week before regular Spring Semester classes. You may enroll in either through Murphy Online as Spring 2010 courses. Both count as Spring courses for purposes of residency and course-load requirements and financial aid.
· LAWS 899, Great Books Seminar: Charles Reid
o Note extra fee, required orientation session Nov. 19, and enrollment deadline
· LAWS 906, Trial Advocacy: Hank Shea and U.S. District Judge Joan Ericksen
Mentor Externship classes:
Jill Akervik will already have registered you for your Spring Semester 2009 Mentor Externship section by the time registration begins. You are expected to remain in the same section, meeting on the same day and at the same time as your Fall Semester section. You may not unilaterally drop your Mentor Externship section to add a class that conflicts with your Mentor Externship. Rather, you need to schedule around your section of the Mentor Externship. If you have an irreconcilable conflict -- that is a conflict with a Clinic course or with a required course that you must take to graduate in May -- please consult with Dave Bateson about changing your Mentor Externship section. Only Dave Bateson will be able to authorize a change in Mentor Externship sections.
Wait Lists:
To prevent overcrowding of wait lists, each student will be allowed to place himself/herself on a wait list for only two courses that have otherwise closed; if you place yourself on more, you will be removed from them. You cannot move yourself from a waitlist into a course. If a spot opens up in a course, Jill Akervik will contact you by e-mail and you will have 24 hours to respond before she offers the spot to the next person on the list.
