NOTES
Please keep the class period on all R&D days free for the possibility of individual appointments and/or full class
meetings. Days marked with brackets indicate times when we will meet for sure. Days marked with an asterisk are days
when we will not meet for sure as a full group. Days in bold italics are not class days, but merely deadline days for the
schedule. The Law Center attendance policy applies mutatis mutandis for this seminar course: schedule yourself to be in
class for all presentation days and other bracketed days; schedule yourself for activity with the paper on R&D days.
Course details are subject to reasonable change with notice. Additional matters may be mandated by the UHLC
student handbook. Submissions on due dates should be received to my email inbox by 10:00 p.m. CST. I will reply to the
submittal email to let you know I have received it.
A separate document will be provided concerning how to construct, write and submit the paper, and how it will be
graded in the context of a seminar course (“Writing Requirements”). Submitted work will be subject to strict assessments for
proper attribution and overall compliance with the Honor Code.
The faculty, staff, and administration of the Law Center want to provide every reasonable accommodation to
students with disabilities, including learning disabilities. For detailed information, please consult the disabilities handbook.
If you have special needs, contact Student Services for arrangements.
