J.D. Upperclass Legal Writing Requirement

There is a single upperclass writing requirement for J.D. students, which may be fulfilled by taking one of the eligible seminars or clinics marked AWR@ in the course schedule. These seminars provide opportunities for closely supervised writing of either a scholarly paper or some form of professional writing, such as appellate briefs. A complete list of these seminars and clinics begins on page 94 of this booklet.

Students may also fulfill the Upperclass Legal Writing Requirement by completing a Supervised Research project with a faculty member. Applications showing the requirements for Supervised Research can be obtained at the Registrar’s Office or online at http://www.law.georgetown.edu/registrar/.
