Greetings! I hope you are having a rewarding first semester. I
have some important information for you with respect to your
classes for the Spring Term. Please read this entire
message.
For the Spring 2009 Semester, first-year students will be randomly
assigned to sections of Property (4 credits), Introduction to
Criminal Procedure (3 credits), Constitutional Law (3 credits) and
Legal Writing II (2 credits).
Additionally, you will have the opportunity to select an elective
of one of the following courses: Civil Procedure II (3 credits);
Contracts II (3 credits); International Law (3 credits); or
Administrative Law (3 credits). You will be asked to indicate
your first, second, and third elective choice on a form that will
be placed in your hang-file in a week or so.
I do, however, have two additional and VERY IMPORTANT
scheduling notes for you at this point
(1) IF you will have (a)
special scheduling needs based on extraordinary/compelling
circumstances or (b) will be a part-time
student in Spring 2009, you must submit a letter detailing
your need, along with any relevant supporting documentation (such
as a letter from your employer) by Friday, November
14th. Your request should be submitted
to Assistant Dean Kevin Kelly, either by placing it in his 5th
Floor mailbox, or mailing it to Dean Kelly at: University of
Wisconsin Law School, 975 Bascom Mall, Madison, WI 53706.
No phone calls or emails in this regard will
entertained.
(2) You may have received a notice from the
University Registrar assigning you a Web Enrollment time for next
week. Please disregard the time and date assigned to
you on the University Registrar's notice or on your My UW
portal. You will not be able to register until the
Law School determines your schedule (based upon your elective
choice and/or any special scheduling needs). In due course, the
Law School will inform all first-years when and how to register for
your Spring 2009 courses.
Thank you for your attention.
