You
should work into your curriculum at least one or two seminars or
small-group courses in subjects that interest you.
One of those seminars might be a higher-level course in the
area in which you expect or hope to practice, but at least one of
the seminars should be on a topic of genuine interest to you, even
if it doesn’t seem especially practical.
You should also think about taking a course that offers a
broader perspective of legal thought, such as a course in legal
history, or jurisprudence, or comparative law.
In
addition, all students must complete at least one AWR paper to
graduate. This can be
done in a seminar course, in connection with journals or moot
court, or as an independent study project. In whatever venue,
writing an AWR paper requires a significant commitment of time and
energy. You should
therefore avoid overloading your schedule in the semester in which
you will be writing your AWR.
If you can avoid it, do not leave your AWR to the last
semester of law school since problems with your paper can result
in the certification process
not being completed in time for graduation.
