Fall Courses 2009

The course list for fall 2009 will be posted tomorrow at this link. But given today?s lunch talk about graduation requirements, bar courses, and the like, we might as well kick this thing off. Here is a rundown from the talk:

To graduate, students must take the core 1L curriculum, Professional Responsibility (as a 2L), and Con Law (at any time). They must also fulfill a 40-70 page writing requirement, supervised by a faculty member, by the end of the fall semester of their third year. Recommended bar courses include Evidence, Civ Pro II, Corporations, and Crim Pro. Note tat this fall will be the last time Civ Pro II is offered at Boalt.

Lastly, the scuttlebutt is that John Yoo will teach one of the Civ Pro classes.

Some of that guidance is mandatory, and some of it is sort of over the top (e.g., what are they doing to do if you do not take Professional Responsibility until your 3L year? Expulsion? Prison? Death?). I suspect that which is which should become evident as the comments develop. I?ll bump this thread a time or two when the courses are posted.
