Course Registration for First-Year Law Students
FALL 2020:
First year students do not have to register for classes in the fall; the Registrar’s Office will enroll first-year students in courses by section (Section 1, Section 2, Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6). All first year students are required to take: Civil Procedure, Torts, Criminal Law, Constitutional Law, Contracts, and Legal Practice Skills (a yearlong course), as well as a regulatory elective and a general elective, taken in the spring. Students are required to register for spring courses during advance registration (in November). More information on spring registration is forthcoming.
