Research Assistance for Credit

Students serving as research assistants for full-time faculty members with primary or secondary appointments at the law school may earn one or two academic credits per semester on a pass/fail basis. During the summer, students may earn up to six credits for research assistance. Each credit requires fifty-five hours of work. All research assistants must have faculty permission to enroll for credit, and the work performed must include significant components of both research and writing. The Office of Student Life will register eligible students; students must submit the Individual Study Form to begin the enrollment process. [1-2]
