In seminars, colloquia, and courses which offer the option to add an additional writing credit, students may earn one credit for writing a substantial paper (at least 30 pages exclusive of footnotes).
To earn the additional credit, students must register for the writing credit section of the course within the same semester the course is offered. The deadline for registering is September 29 for fall and February 9 for spring.
If you would like to designate the paper as a thesis, please see the LL.M. Thesis Option section.
