The course is available to students in the last semester of their baccalaureate coursework. It requires students to utilize all of the substantive legal knowledge and practical legal research skills they have acquired to produce a significant, scholarly paper on a legal topic. Students will receive an intense review of legal research techniques and legal ethics which are helpful to them before entry into the legal job market. In addition, lectures, discussions and guest speakers will concentrate on a different substantive area of law each semester.
