LAW FACULTY APPROVES: <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>JOINT J.D.\/LL.M. IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW<\/strong><\/p>\n

At its meeting earlier this month, the law faculty voted to create a joint J.D.\/LL.M. program in Intellectual Property<\/strong> Law<\/strong>, effective fall 2011. \u00a0<\/p>\n

INFORMATIONAL SESSIONS SCHEDULED:\u00a0 <\/strong>Sessions will be held on Tuesday, March 29 from 12:00 \u2013 1:00 pm in Room W-210 and 5:00 \u2013 6:00 pm in Room L-151.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Under the program, a student would have to complete 100 credit hours<\/strong> of study, including 24 credit hours in intellectual property-related courses<\/strong>, earn an overall 3.0 GPA in IP courses<\/strong>, and satisfy all current requirements for the J.D. degree.\u00a0 \u00a0Included within the 24 credit hours would be a six-credit thesis, which would also satisfy the GWR requirement<\/strong>.\u00a0 Up to 12 credits of IP-related course work at the J.D. level could be credited towards satisfaction of the LL.M. requirements<\/strong>. It is anticipated that a student could meet these requirements during three years of full-time study, plus summer study.\u00a0 Students should apply for the program no later than the beginning of their second year of study.<\/p>\n

At the same meeting, the faculty also approved changes to the current LL.M. requirements.\u00a0 The number of required credits has been reduced from 30 to 24<\/strong>; all students would be required to enroll in Fundamentals of Intellectual Property (formerly Introduction to Intellectual Property)<\/strong>; and all students would have to take a course in either patent, copyright or trademark law, as well as at least one international IP course<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
