Section Description
To earn the LL.M. degree, candidates must complete the LL.M. Writing Project which must meet the following criteria:
The paper(s) must be worth at least one point of Law School academic credit. A one-point paper, whether written as a seminar requirement or as supervised research, generally represents about 70 hours of work, or 5 hours per week, and is usually 3,250 - 4,000 words or 10 to 15 pages (double-spaced, 12 point font), although individual professors may have different requirements. Assignments completed for LL.M. Legal Research and Writing do not satisfy the LL.M. Writing Project requirement. The paper must be graded on the A-B-C-F scale. Credit (Pass)/Fail or other non-evaluative grades are not permitted.
