As you settle into the fall semester, you may have started to think ahead about how to use your remaining semesters at Touro to satisfy your graduation requirements. The following two changes impact many Touro students, and you should be sure that you understand these changes and how/whether they apply to you.
1. Advanced Writing Requirement. Effective Spring 2009 for all students who have not yet satisfied the Advanced Writing Requirement: Fall 2008 is the last semester in which the Advanced Writing Requirement can be satisfied by an upper-level course, e.g., Pre-trial Litigation, that results in a package of practice documents of at least 20 pages. Beginning Spring 2009, a package of practice documents of at least 20 pages will be accepted in conjunction with only a clinic.
2. Intermediate Skills Requirement. All students who began law school Fall 2007 or later must fulfill the Intermediate Skills Requirement to graduate. This requirement can be fulfilled in one of the following ways:
a. Practice Module in Business Organizations, Trusts & Estates, Family Law, or Criminal Procedure;
b. Introduction to Law Practice/Transactional Law (under development) in Contracts, Property, or Torts; or
c. Simulation course such as, but not limited to, Settling Legal Disputes.
If you have any questions, please feel free to come by the Office of Student Services for clarification.
