This clinic, seminar, or practice/simulation course requires
students to follow specific procedures during the active
registration cycle or forfeit their enrollment opportunity:
§ Cycle
ONE--Clinic Bidding--requires
students to request the clinic via the Law Course Bidding Interface (CBI). For clinic information or clinic waitlist
questions, please contact Lou Anne Betts (bettylou@umich.edu),
734-764-4533.
§ Cycle TWO--Seminar or
Practice/Simulation Course Bidding--requires students to complete TWO steps: (1) request the seminar or
practice/simulation course via the Law
Course Bidding Interface (CBI) AND (2) follow the “time
sensitive” special sign-up procedure listed in the term specific on-line
Registration Instructions. The Registration Instructions are
located on
the Office of the Registrar web site, “Registration” in the left-hand column, “Registration Instructions” in the middle column (http://www.law.umich.edu/currentstudents/registration/registration/Pages/default.aspx).
9.
This clinic, seminar, or
practice/simulation course has been designated a “Prof Pick.”
§ Cycle
ONE--Clinic Bidding--during
the CBI Clinic processing, admission is by permission of the professor. The professor retrieves a list of students
who requested the clinic and makes selections.
If possible, the clinic coordinator
assigns the selected students. NOTE--CBI
limits class assignment to a maximum of ONE
clinic. Students assigned to the clinics are uploaded into CBI and
their 15 credit maximum is reduced by the clinic credits before the Seminar and Practice/Simulation Course registration
period begins. During the Wolverine Access Drop/Add
period, admission to this clinic off the waitlist is also by permission of the
professor and not according to
waitlist order. If a seat is available, the professor makes a selection from the
waitlist. The clinic coordinator
contacts the curriculum coordinator who creates an individual “time sensitive”
permission code and e-mails the selected student so they can enroll themselves
via Wolverine Access. For clinic information or clinic waitlist questions,
please contact Lou Anne Betts (bettylou@umich.edu),
734-764-4533.
§ Cycle TWO--Seminar or
Practice/Simulation Course Bidding--during the CBI Seminar and
Practice/Simulation Course processing, admission is by permission of the
professor. The professor retrieves a list
of students who requested the class and makes selections. If possible, the curriculum coordinator assigns the selected students. NOTE--CBI limits class assignment to a
maximum of ONE seminar and ONE practice/simulation course. During the Wolverine Access Drop/Add period, admission to this
seminar or practice/simulation course off the waitlist is also by permission of
the professor and not according to
waitlist order. If a seat is available, the professor makes a selection from the
waitlist and contacts the curriculum coordinator who creates an individual
“time sensitive” permission code and e-mails the selected student so they can
enroll themselves via Wolverine Access.
10.

Drop/Add period must use Wolverine

This
clinic is a year-long commitment so students enrolled for the fall term will automatically be enrolled for the
winter term. No additional students will
be added during the winter term.
48.
Once
admitted to a clinic, a student may only drop that clinic with permission of
one of the professors who teach that clinic. Students who wish to drop
must email the professor teaching the clinic requesting the drop and briefly
explaining the reasons for it. Professor-permitted drops of a student’s
first or second choice clinic may reduce the student’s chances of being
accepted into a clinic in future semesters.
49.
Students
are required to attend the first class meeting of the #990 Part-time Externship.
Students who fail to attend the first class meeting without making prior
arrangements with the professor for an excused absence will have their name
removed from the class roster.
50.
Students
do not bid for the #990 Part-time
Externship using the CBI system. Instead, a student seeking to enroll in
the class must submit a resume
AND a short statement of interest
to Professor Sankaran (aharwell@umich.edu) as early as the beginning
of the CBI registration period and no later than May 1 for the fall semester
and December 1 for the winter semester. The statement must
include:
1) Name of placement or proposed placement;
2) How the proposed placement furthers his or her academic and professional
goals;
3) A description of the work the student will be doing at his or her placement;

the externship will take place. Students must have their placements
finalized no later than one week prior to the first day of the semester.
Students may not take #990
Part-time Externship and be enrolled in a clinic during the same semester.
51.
#635 CORPORATE FINANCE and #650 CORPORATE
FINANCE TUTORIAL:

Law 635 and Law 650 are so closely related, these two classes are treated as a
single class for purposes of converting a letter grade to a
"Pass." This does not obligate
any student to convert a letter grade to a P in both classes. Rather,
