With course registration coming up, we’ve put together a chart of High Tech-related courses being offered in Fall 2015. Although we’ve tried to make it accurate and comprehensive, please check see the course offerings for Fall 2015 for the most current information. In addition to this chart, you might find two other documents helpful to your course selection for this semester:
* Navigating the High Tech Curriculum. This document will help you identify courses based on particular destinations you might be heading.
* A chart showing the expected offering schedule for various courses. As usual, if you really want to take a course before you graduate and you see it offered now, take it. Life is uncertain, and so are curricular offerings.
If you plan to complete your SAWR paper on a high tech topic this year, we strongly recommend that you consider taking Advanced Legal Writing Scholarship: IP. Opportunities to complete independently supervised SAWR papers will be extremely limited this semester because a larger than usual number of high tech faculty members will be on leave.
Rising 2Ls should also note that, beginning with your class (i.e., “students matriculated on or before August 1, 2014”), the paper requirement for the High Tech Law Certificate is a bit more restrictive. Specifically, to obtain the certificate you must write your SAWR paper either (1) in a HTLC-designated class, or (2) on a high tech topic approved by Prof. Love. If you complete your SAWR paper on a non-high tech topic, you will not be able to obtain the certificate, even if you write a second paper on a high tech topic. (This change does not apply to students who began law school prior to the Fall 2014 semester.) If you want to earn a High Tech Law Certificate, be sure to plan ahead and write your SAWR paper on an approved high tech topic.
As always, if you have any questions about choosing courses or anything else, feel free to visit or email Prof. Love or Joy Peacock. If you have specific questions regarding the High Tech Law Certificate requirements, contact Dorice Kunis.
