LLM Serv-Unpaid Faculty Research Assistant

Under a faculty member’s supervision, LL.M. students may serve as research assistants, and in this capacity perform legal research and writing in aid of scholarly investigations. In the case of unpaid research assistance, this offering is subject to a limit of one point of academic credit that may be counted towards the 24 points of academic credit required for the LL.M. degree, and will be graded on a CR/F basis, unless the student is fulfilling the LL.M. Writing Project Requirement with the research assistance. If so, it will be graded on the A-B-C-F scale. A student may elect to serve as a paid research assistant instead of earning one point of credit (or in addition to earning one point of credit).

Research Assistant points of academic credit do not count towards the 24-credit requirement to cure deficiency for the New York Bar Exam.
