Policies and Procedures

Leave of Absence Readmission   

Students must, in the ordinary course of events, pursue their studies without interruption. Students who fail to register for either the Fall or Spring semester without obtaining a leave of absence will be treated as having withdrawn from the Law School. JD students may apply for a leave of absence for up to one year by making a written request to the Dean of Students stating the reason for such a leave. A leave entitles a student to continue his/her law studies within one year. Further leaves may be sought, but leaves for more than one year are seldom granted. Regardless of leave, credits may be counted towards graduation requirements only if they are earned within six years from the date of graduation. LLM students must complete their degree requirements within five to six semesters, and MSJ students must complete their degree requirements within five to seven semesters.
