Analytical Paper Required: Per the specification of the writing group, all enrolled students complete a research paper of one credit (at least 20-25 pages) or two credits (50 or more pages), with faculty and peer review of a substantially complete draft. This paper can be used to satisfy the analytical paper requirement for J.D. students.

Students enrolling in a writing group are required to submit a signed Writing Group Registration Form to the Registrar’s Office.

Students enrolled in this writing group are invited to apply for a unique winter term civil rights history tour and writing project organized for New England area law students by judges from the Massachusetts and Rhode Island U.S. District Courts. The two writing credits for the writing group registration must be in the winter term. The tour application is due October 1. See this announcement for more information.
