No more than three hours of Research may be taken or counted toward the law degree. Enrollment in LAW 5875 may, but need not, be structured so as to satisfy the upper-level writing requirement. Enrollment in LAW 5875 Research satisfies the Law School's writing requirement only if the project culminates in an individually authored paper of at least 20 pages, based on independent research, through a process that involves an initial draft, critique by the supervising faculty members, and rewrite.
