Students must complete three years in residence. A student who completes 10 credits or more in a given semester will receive one-half year Page 7

11 of residence credit. A student who completes fewer than 10 credits in a semester will receive residence credit based on the ratio of the number of credits hours completed and 10 credit hours. A student may not earn more than one-half year of residence credit during one semester, and credit hours earned in one semester cannot be applied to residence credit in any other semester. Time limit for completing graduation requirements. While transfer between programs is possible, a J.D. student who enters the Law School as a full-time student must complete the requirement for the J.D. degree within five years of starting the program, and a student who enters as a part-time student must complete the requirements within six years. Limitation on clinical, externship and internship courses. A student may submit no more than 14 semester credits from clinics, externships and internships toward completion of degree requirements. A student may register for no more than one externship or clinic per semester, and may not register for both an externship and a clinic in the same semester. A student who has taken a clinic may not register for another (other than an advanced version of the same clinic) unless positions remain available two weeks after the Law School s registration period begins or one month before the semester begins, whichever occurs later. The above represents only a summary of the requirements for graduation. To be sure you understand all of the requirements you should carefully consult the Law School Academic Regulations. Seminars and Directed Study Students may register for one seminar or one 1- or 2-credit-hour directed study each term. No more than four semester credits of directed study may be submitted toward completion of graduation requirements. A student may not elect a directed study if you are eligible to elect a seminar during the same academic year that covers the same general subject matter on which you wish to write. A student may not elect a directed study and a seminar in the same term; nor may a student elect two directed studies or two seminars in one term. For directed study, written approval of the professor guiding the study and of Associate Dean for Student Affairs Noah Hall must be obtained prior to registration. The Authorization for Directed Study form is available from the Records and Registration Office page of the Law School s website. Page 8

12 Work for seminars and directed studies must be completed within the regular examination grading period for that term, or by the deadline set by the professor if sooner.

An Incomplete will not be allowed for late submission of papers. Graduate-Level Courses Outside the Law School Following completion of the first year, a student may elect one law-related course at the graduate level in another department of the University each term, with a limit of four such courses. To elect such a course you must obtain prior approval from Associate Dean for Student Affairs Noah Hall. To earn Law School credit a student must receive a grade of B or better. Grades received in non-law School courses will not be included in computing your grade-point average, and will be recorded on your transcript as CR (credit). If a student takes a University graduate level course the student may not elect a Law School course on a Pass/No Credit basis during that term. The University s calendar is different from the Law School s calendar, and students must abide by all rules and regulations stated in the University Schedule of Classes when electing a course outside of the Law School. You can find a copy of the University schedule on the web at Programs at Other Law Schools To take a course at another law school and receive credit toward your Wayne Law degree a student must obtain prior approval from Associate Dean for Student Affairs Noah Hall. To earn Law School credit a student must receive a grade of C or better. Students will not receive credit for courses graded Pass, Credit, or Satisfactory. Grades received in courses taken at another law school will not be included in computing a student s grade-point average, and will be recorded on the student s transcript as Transfer Credit. After a student has completed a course at another law school, it is the responsibility of that student to have the guest institution send an official transcript directly to the Law School Records Office in order to receive credit. Page 9

13 Election of Pass-No Credit Grading In any single term or summer session after your first year in the Law School, a J.D. student may elect to take one non-required course on a Pass-No Credit basis. Taking a course in another University division precludes election of another course on a Pass-No Credit basis during that term. Seminars and directed studies may not be taken on a Pass-No Credit basis, nor may Advanced Legal Writing: Appellate Advocacy (LEX 7536). Up to four courses passed on this basis at the Law School may be credited for residence and hours toward graduation, but will not be included in determining your grade-point average. The course instructor will not be made aware of the student s election of Pass-No Credit grading. The Law School Records Office, upon receipt of the student s final grade in the course, will enter an A+ through C as a P (pass) and a C- through F as a NC (no credit) in the student s record as the official grade in the course. Notice of such election for the Winter Term 2015 must be filed in the Law School Records Office by 5:00 pm, Monday, February 23, Effective as of the Summer 2012 semester, a student who has elected to take a course on a Pass-No Credit basis may rescind that election no later than three days after the Records Office posts the student s final grade for that course in Blackboard and may thereby take the assigned letter grade in lieu of the Pass or No Credit. A Pass-No Credit election cannot be made online. A student may make a Pass-No Credit election by completing the Election of Pass-No Credit Grading Form and bringing it to the Records Office or faxing it to (313) The form is available from the Records and Registration Office page of the Law School s website.

27 IV. LL.M. PROGRAM Degree Requirements and Grading System General requirements for obtaining the LL.M. degree are (1) satisfactory completion of 24 semester credit hours in course work, and (2) satisfactory completion of the master s thesis under the direction of an instructor. For specific requirements for your major, see the LL.M. Program Degree Requirements and Academic Regulations, which is available from Prof. Paul Dubinsky, Director of Graduate Studies, his secretary Olive Hyman, and on the Law School s website. A grade-point average of 2.33 or higher is required for graduation for the LL.M. Degree in Taxation, Labor and Employment, and Corporate and Finance. A grade-point average of 3.0 or higher is required for graduation for the LL.M. Degree in United States Law. An LL.M. student who earns a C-, D+, D or E in a course will have the mark of F entered on his/her record. Students who have completed all of the requirements for an LL.M. degree except the master s thesis must register for Master s Essay Direction (as an auditor) during each semester that the thesis remains incomplete until the student either declares himself or herself no longer a candidate for the degree or the student exhausts the six-year time period for completing the program. Students enrolled as auditors for Master s Essay Direction must pay tuition and fees associated with this course and their transcripts will reflect a mark of Z (Audit). All students must complete the basic course in their respective major field of study: Taxation for Taxation majors; Corporations for Corporate and Finance Law majors; and Labor Law for Labor and Employment Law majors. If a student completed the basic course in his or her major (whether at Wayne Law or elsewhere) during the five-year time period preceding the commencement of his or her LL.M. studies at Wayne Law, then the requirement may be waived by the Director of Graduate Studies, depending on the content of the course and the grade received. Students who have not completed the basic course within five years of enrollment must enroll in the course, unless the requirement is waived by the Director of Graduate Studies. Students registering for the basic course in their major receive two semester credit-hours toward completion of the 24 credit-hours of course work required for the LL.M. degree regardless of the number of credit hours listed in the course catalogue. Page 24

28 Registering for the Master s Thesis Students who are planning to write their Master s Theses during the academic year must have participated in the Master s Thesis Workshop that was held during the Fall Term Also, these students must complete the Authorization for Master s Essay form, available from the Law School s website or in the Law School Records Office, and submit it with an Add/Drop form in order to register for the thesis. Students electing to complete the thesis in connection with a seminar must register for Master's Essay Direction (LEX 8999) for 2 credit-hours, and Directed Study (LEX 7990) for 1 credit-hour. (Do not register for the seminar.) Such students must notify the Law School Records Office by completing the Master s Essay Direction form and include the name of the seminar associated with completion of the essay requirement. Students intending to write the Master s Essay independently under the supervision of a professor must register for Master's Essay Direction (LEX 8999) for 2 semester credit-hours. The total number of semester credit-hours required for the LL.M. degree is 26 whether the thesis is done in connection with a seminar or not. LL.M. Courses Unless otherwise specified, classes start during the week of January 12, Listed on the following pages are pre-approved courses for each of the three majors. Students enrolling in such courses need not obtain the prior approval of the Director of Graduate Studies in order to have these courses count toward the requirements of their degree. In addition, students may take J.D. courses appropriate to their programs as electives. Such courses count toward the number of credits needed to graduate but do not satisfy the major-specific requirements unless approved in advance by the Director of Graduate Studies. Students who wish to fulfill the master s thesis in connection with a J.D. seminar that is not listed as an approved LL.M. offering must secure permission from the Director of Graduate Studies. To receive credit for a graduate-level course offered outside the Law School, the student must secure prior approval from the Director of Graduate Studies. The schedule of class offerings throughout the University is available at University classes outside the Law School generally run from January 12 to April 27, 2015, with examinations scheduled from April 29 to May 5.
