Independent Study Guidelines
JD Course Description
Independent Study (1.00-2.00 units) LAW – 884
Students have the opportunity to do independent research under direct faculty supervision
in areas of special interest. They may enroll in the course on a letter-grade or credit/no-
credit basis after making arrangements to work with a faculty member and after receiving
the approval of the director for student services. Students must complete 45-60 hours of
research and writing for each unit. Unit value for the work is determined in conference
with the supervising faculty member. Appropriate registration forms are available from
the registrar.
JD students may enroll in a maximum of two units per term and four units total in Independent
Study. Note that HLP students apprenticing outside the Bay Area who need to enroll in three
units in one term for financial aid purposes may seek permission to enroll in a third unit for that
term.
Guidelines for Independent Study
1. Students may be supervised by a full-time, visiting, or adjunct faculty member who is
teaching during the semester in which the student initially enrolls in the course. Students
wishing to be supervised by a faculty member who is not teaching that term may seek special
permission from the director for student services. [The director’s role is to verify that the
faculty member understands and agrees to our guidelines and will be easily accessible to the
student.]
2. Completing an Independent Study course involves a substantial amount of effort. Students
are expected to work a minimum of 45-60 hours per unit.
3. The due date for the paper or project may be no later than the last day of the exam period for
the term. Extensions beyond that date must comply with the rules regarding Incompletes.
4. The subject matter should be determined by the student and the supervising faculty member.
A student may not receive Independent Study credit for any work completed for another
course, including clinical work. Students may not be paid for their work.
5. The project must exhibit substantial, careful, and competent research, and it must
demonstrate articulate, thoughtful, and well-structured analysis of the subject matter. It must
also meet the following requirements:
a. If the project is a paper, it should ordinarily be a minimum of 15 pages in length for
one unit, or 25 pages for two units, excluding footnotes, endnotes, or bibliography,
double spaced, using 12 point Times Roman font, with one inch margins all around.
Footnotes must comply with either ALWD or "Blue Book" citation as directed by the
faculty adviser.
b. In limited circumstances, students may receive credit for a legal research project other
than a paper.
c. The project must rely on multiple sources and primary authority.
d. The overall tenor must be law-related.
6. Students may receive one or two units of credit for an Independent Study project, as
determined by the faculty adviser in advance of enrollment. When the project is for the
purpose of supplementing or expanding work done for a course, the student shall receive
only one unit of credit. Students may enroll in only one Independent Study project per
semester and may earn no more than four units total.
7. Independent Study may be taken for a letter grade or CR/NC.
8. Students must submit a Petition for Independent Study form, which requires the signatures of
the faculty adviser and the director for student services. This form must be submitted no
later than the end of the third week of the fall and spring terms, and no later than the second
week of the summer term.
