Course Selection Information

This section replicates the “Upper Level Registration Handout” that is given to every 2nd and 3rd year student at the time of Spring Registration.  It offers general information on the nuts and bolts of registration.  It also offers information on pre and co-requisites, courses you may want to take for the Bar Exam and courses you should take if you are interested in a specific area of law.  There is also a set of worksheets that can be seperately accessed so you can map your last two year of study.  The Handout can also be downloaded in its entirety in Adobe PDF format.
