Academic Calendar Reminder: Last Week of Classes. The class schedule for the last week of the semester is as follows:

Monday, May 3: Monday classess meet (King Birthday make-up)
Tuesday, May 4: Wednesday classes meet (Professionalism Day make-up)
Wednesday, May 5: Friday classes meet (Good Friday make-up)

The last day of classes is Wednesday, May 5. Exams begin on Tuesday, May 11.

Fall 2004 Registration. The final Fall 2004 schedule, the Registration Bulletin, and the course and exam grids are linked to this page and are available in print form outside the third floor cafeteria. Registration runs through Tuesday, May 4. You may register at any time during that period. After the end of the registration period, the registration requests will be processed according to each student’s registration priority. In other words, registration will not be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis; as long as you register during the designated period, you will have an equal chance of being admitted to a class as other students within your registration priority group. To learn what classes you have been admitted into, you must check the online registration site on or after Thursday, May 6. Registering for a class during the initial registration period is no guarantee that you will be admitted into the class – you must check the web site on or after Thursday, May 6 to learn what classes you have been admitted into.

Please note the following corrections and addition to the Fall schedule:

Tax Policy seminar: This seminar was listed on the class grids by mistake. It will not be offered.

Intellectual Property in the High Tech Era: The credits for this intensive course will not count toward the minimum or maximum Fall credits a student may take. (If you wish to take this course, but it will cause you to exceed your Fall semester maximum credits, please contact me so that we can adjust your maximum credits in the system.)

Redesigning the Health Care System seminar: This new seminar has been added to the Fall 2004 schedule. It will meet Mondays, 4:00 - 5:50 pm, and will be taught by Professor Michele Baker Richardson. The course number is 620-071. The course description is as follows: This seminar will address the debate now raging across America about what should be done to improve the way we respond to injuries suffered during medical treatment. While some rely on the civil justice system and tort law developed to address medical malpractice, others challenge that system and argue for one or another reform approach. We will critically analyze several of the major proposals for systemwide reform, and work toward developing an innovative and effective proposal. Prerequisites: None. Recommended: Medical Malpractice.

Intensive Trial Advocacy. Please note that registration for both the August 2004 and the January 2005 sessions of Intensive Trial Advocacy take place as part of Fall 2004 registration. See the listing for Intensive Trial Advocacy in the preliminary Schedule of Classes for details.

Spring 2005 Preliminary Schedule. The preliminary schedule of classes for the Spring 2005 semester is linked to this page and is available in paper form outside the third floor cafeteria. Please note: This schedule is only preliminary – there will be additions to the class list (in particular, we anticipate adding several seminars) and other changes made before the schedule is finalized. The final schedule will be issued during the Fall 2004 semester, when registration for Spring 2005 classes will also take place. If you have any questions or comments about the preliminary schedule, please feel free to contact me by e-mail (SSOWLE), phone (6-5130), or by stopping by my office (Rm. 320).

Spring 2004 Exams.


Exam Schedule. The final exam schedule for the current semester is linked to this page. If you have not received an e-mail notification with your exam room assignments, you can find the information by logging into your Web for Students account and clicking on the Spring 2004 link.

Exams on Computer.
If you missed the initial period for registering to take exams on computer, you may still do so for any exam that still has computer slots available. (Please keep in mind that not all professors allow students to take exams on computer.) You may also change your exam preference from computer to hand-writing. For both of these options, log into your Web for Students account and click on the Register for Exams on Computer link (under Online Forms).
