Notes to Schedule:
(N.1) Information regarding the application process for summer 2024 student-advisors will be sent via a Law News email in the near future. Enrollment only with the written permission of the Instructor. The clinic will meet for two hours weekly for class during the summer term. M-VETS students-advisors continue to meet each week for class and office hours, and they have responsibility for the matters to which they have been assigned until the commencement of the Fall 2024 semester.
(N.2) Information on applying to participate in Legal Writing for Law Clerks was sent via LawNews email on March 13, 2024. Enrollment only with written permission of instructor. Students who are accepted will be notified by the Records Office and must confirm they want to be enrolled by email to lwrecord@gmu.edu. Once students confirm, the Records Office will enroll them in the course.
(N.3) Law 201-R01 will meet for the first few Tuesdays of the summer term from 6:00 to 7:50 p.m., with other dates to be scheduled with the instructor. Final papers will be due July 8, 2024.
(N.4) Law 201-R02 will meet at the following dates/times in the second half of the summer: Wednesday July 10, Tuesday July 16, and Tuesday July 23 from 6:00 to 7:50 p.m., with other dates to be scheduled with the instructor. Final papers will be due August 20, 2024.
(N.5) The Negotiations course will be offered over three weekends, May 18–19, June 1–2, and June 15–16, meeting each day from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Students must attend every session to receive credit.
(N.6) Students must receive approval to register for any Supervised Externship program and should submit the Externship Information Form found in the Externship module on Symplicity to begin the process. (Virginia Practice Externship applicants will submit the form after meeting with Professor Davis.) To access the form, log into Symplicity and select Externship Module from the “Shortcuts” on the right side of the screen. Once approved, students will be registered by the Records Office for the appropriate externship course. Compensated externship credit is NOT available during the summer term. Remote externships sections will have remote and asynchronous-only tutorials and are available only to students who will be working outside the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area this summer and so cannot attend the tutorials in person. First-Year students must have completed the required Civil Dialogue & Inclusive Lawyering sessions in order to enroll in an externship or clinic.
(N.7) Students registering for this course will attend the WIPO-C-IP2 Summer School on Intellectual Property to be held from June 3 through 14, 2024, with hours that vary slightly by day. Students registering for this course must also register through WIPO’s website. Students taking this course for academic credit will pay tuition to Scalia Law in lieu of the registration fee. The course will consist of lectures, case studies, simulation exercises, and group discussions on patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets. Lectures will be given by Academics, Industry Leaders, and current and/or former policy makers. Scalia Law students will be joined virtually by students and professionals from around the world. Additional details are on the C-IP2 website.
(N.8) Contact Professor Courtney Dinsmore (cdinsmor@gmu.edu) to obtain permission to register.
