A.1  Curriculum Requirements

Students at the West Virginia University College of Law must earn 91 credit hours with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.50 in order to graduate.  Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.50 and meet other requirements to remain in good academic standing.  The first-year curriculum is a fixed set of courses taken by all students.  Students are largely free to shape their own courses of study during the last two years of law school, subject to a small number of upper-level requirements. If a student receives a failing grade in a course required for graduation, the student must repeat the course for a passing grade. That grade will be factored into the student's overall GPA and will not replace the 'F' the student received the first time he or she took the course.

A.2  First-Year Curriculum

The first-year curriculum is a required set of courses designed by the faculty to give new law students an introduction to the fundamentals of legal practice. You will be assigned to a section of each required course. The first-year curriculum covers three areas: 

Private Law governs the legal relationships and the resolution of disputes among private persons and entities. The private law courses you will take are Torts (civil wrongs), Contracts, and Property.

Public Law concerns governmental regulation of private persons and entities.  The public law courses you will take are Criminal Law and Constitutional Law.

Practice courses teach procedural law, the skills of legal research, analysis, and writing, and an introduction to the practice of law.  The practice courses you will take are Civil Procedure, two semesters of Legal Analysis, Research, and Writing, Introduction to Legal Research, and Introduction to the Profession. 

Legal Analysis, Research, and Writing (five credits).  First-year students must pass both LARW I (3 credits) and LARW II (2 credits) with an average grade of C (2.0) or better over the two semesters in order to satisfy the Legal Analysis, Research, and Writing (LARW) course requirement.  The vast majority of students will satisfy the requirement by making grades of C or better in both semesters of LARW.  However, a student who makes a C- in one semester must make a C+ or better in the other semester to obtain a C average; a student who makes a D+ in one semester must make a B- or better in the other semester to obtain a C average; a student who makes a D in one semester must make a B or better in the other semester to obtain a C average.  A student who earns a grade of F for one semester of LARW must at least repeat that course and must repeat both semesters if they do not obtain the required average of C over both classes. 

Students who fail to obtain an average of C or better in the first-year LARW program have a second opportunity to satisfy the LARW requirement in a second taking of the two-semester, first-year sequence of LARW I and LARW II.  (In some years, a one-semester LARW class may be offered in the fall semester for such students to take in lieu of retaking LARW I and II.)  Students who fail to make a C or better in their second attempt to satisfy the LARW requirement will be permanently dismissed from the College of Law.  For students who make a C or better on the second attempt, both grades will count in the student's law school GPA, but the student will receive only four total hours of credit toward law school graduation.

No student will be allowed to drop the required first-year LARW course.  Students needing to decelerate by taking less than the full 1L curriculum during the first year of law school must drop another required course.  There is one possible exception to this policy: if a student receives an F in LARW I and wishes to decelerate, the student may drop LARW II.  Part-time students must take LARW I and II during their first year of law school.

Successful completion (an average grade of C or better) of the first-year LARW program is a prerequisite for taking Appellate Advocacy, any seminar, or any clinic.  This prerequisite may not be waived.  Students will receive a detailed policy handbook at the beginning of the LARW course; all policies will be in effect for the duration of the course.


A.3 Required Courses After the First-Year Curriculum

After successfully completing their first year of law school, students are able to choose among a wide range of upper-level electives to complete 91 credits for graduation, including doctrinal courses, skills courses, and experiential learning courses (an externship or clinic, for example). Students must satisfy a relatively small number of upper-level requirements:

Required Courses During the 2L Year:

Administrative Law. Students must take Administrative Law (LAW 746) or an approved alternative upper-level elective that the College of Law has determined teaches significant administrative law concepts during their second year. 

Professional Responsibility. Students must take Professional Responsibility (LAW 742) during their second year. 

Required Courses that May be Taken in Either the 2L or 3L Year

Appellate Advocacy. Students must take Appellate Advocacy and receive a C or higher in the course to graduate.

Seminar Requirement. (two-three credits, depending on length of class meetings and paper length) from a menu of seminars. Seminars are specifically noted by the letters “Sem or Seminar” in the course title and are numbered as LAW 688, 689, or 796. Seminars have a common structure: small-class discussions geared toward the production of a substantial (i.e., at least 8,000 words which is approximately twenty-five pages) written product supported by extensive research. Typically, the research seminar aims at the production of a law-review style research paper of publishable quality. Seminars may aim at other written products, such as draft legislation or jury instructions, so long as these products are accompanied by papers urging their adoption by the appropriate lawmakers. Enrollment is limited to fifteen students in each seminar. Two-hour seminar courses must meet as a group for no less than 10 weeks and no less than 110 minutes per week. Three-hour seminar courses must meet as a group for no less than 10 weeks and no less than 165 minutes per week. Students must obtain a grade of C or better to satisfy the seminar requirement. Independent studies and externships do not satisfy the seminar requirement.

Capstone Requirement.  Capstone courses provide students with opportunities to synthesize critically and apply knowledge and skills they have developed during law school.  The following course(s) satisfy the capstone requirement:

Students fulfilling the Capstone requirement though the clinic must take both semesters of Clinic unless waived by the Academic Standards Committee and the faculty member supervising the Clinic for due cause due to a situation that occurred that was outside of the control of the student (by way of example, due to the second semester of clinic not being offered due to personnel changes). 

In addition to the above-listed capstone courses, students may also fulfill the capstone requirement by completing the following:

·When available; writing a Law School faculty-supervised brief and making an oral argument before the U.S. Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia as an independent study project (two credits).

·An interdisciplinary project supervised by a law faculty member and a university faculty member who is not a law faculty member, which must be approved in advance by the Academic Standards Committee. 

Prerequisite Requirement for Some Capstone Courses.  The course in Evidence is a prerequisite to taking Trial Advocacy, any Clinical Law Program that requires a Rule 10 admission to practice, or a Federal Judicial Externship. (There is no requirement that the student attain a particular grade in Evidence prior to taking the other courses.) 


A.4  Upper-Level Electives

Apart from the upper-level requirements already described, students choose from a variety of upper-level electives to create their courses of study over the final two years of law school.  A list of all the permanent law school courses with their descriptions can be found on the "Courses" tab.  The law school also offers additional courses on a temporary basis that are not included in this catalog. Students should note that not all listed courses are offered every year. 


A.5  Areas of Emphasis

An Area of Emphasis (also informally called a "Concentration") is a course of study that enables students to develop skills and competency in a particular area of the law.  A student who satisfies the requirement of an Area of Emphasis will have that Area of Emphasis listed on the official transcript. The College of Law has three Areas of Emphasis: (1) Energy and Sustainable Development Law, (2) Public Interest Law, (3) Civil Litigation and Advocacy.  Adding an Area of Emphasis must be requested, declared, and processed prior to the first day of classes of the student's graduating semester.  A student will not be permitted to add an Area of Emphasis at any point during their graduating semester.

Civil Litigation and Advocacy Area of Emphasis

Advisor: Jessica Haught

The Civil Litigation and Advocacy Area of Emphasis is intended to provide a pathway for students to prioritize courses that would train and prepare them in subject areas and experiential opportunities that are foundational for general civil litigation and advocacy in a variety of settings.

Course Requirements: To satisfy the requirements of the Civil Litigation and Advocacy Area of Emphasis, a student must:

Experiential Learning Recommendation:

Students are strongly encouraged to gain experience working on matters that continue to advance their litigation and advocacy skill set by participating in a full-time Federal Judicial Externship, enrolling in Trial Advocacy, and/or the General Litigation Clinic.

Energy and Sustainable Development Law Area of Emphasis

Advisor: Anne Eisenberg

The Energy and Sustainable Development Law Area of Emphasis is intended to educate the next generation of lawyers who will work in and shape the fields of energy, environmental, and sustainable development law, by providing an opportunity to learn the applicable laws and regulations in this area, consider policy issues through written work, and obtain practical skills applicable in this area through an experiential learning requirement.

A.6  Part-Time Enrollment

Full-time students average just over fifteen (15) hours per semester in order to amass ninety-one (91) credits in six (6) semesters.  Students taking significantly fewer hours per semester will take longer to finish their degrees and are considered part-time students at the College of Law. (Note, however University graduate or professional students taking nine hours or more are charged full tuition and fees.  Thus, some “part- time” students will still pay the same tuition and fees each semester as their full-time colleagues.)

Part-time students are subject to the same graduation requirements in terms of total credit hours (ninety-one credits), cumulative grade point average (2.50), and specific required courses. Per ABA requirements, part-time students must complete all graduation requirements within seven years from the date of initial enrollment.

Students Who Wish to Begin Law School as Part-Time Students.  The Enrollment Management Committee selects first-year part-time students from students already admitted to the Law School. The total size of the entering class is not increased.  A student requesting for part-time status must submit a written request to the Enrollment Management Committee on objective indicators of the need to attend on a part-time basis. Students who wish to become part-time students after starting law school but before completing the first-year curriculum must consult with the Academic Standards Committee as indicated in this catalog's section on Academic Policies and Procedures.  Students who have completed the first-year curriculum (see "First-Year Curriculum" above) may request to become part-time students by consulting the Academic Standards Committee of that intention at the beginning of the semester.

First-Year Curriculum.  Part-time students must take both semesters of LARW and Introduction to Legal Research course in their first year of law school. Typically, part- time students take two courses in addition to LARW/Legal Research in each semester of the first year, then take the rest of the first-year curriculum in their second year of studies. As a general rule, part-time students may not enroll in upper-level courses until they have completed the entire first-year curriculum.  The Academic Standards Committee may grant exceptions to this rule for good cause. 

Scheduling of Classes.  Part-time students must consult the Director of Academic Excellence in scheduling.

Probation and Dismissal.  Except as specifically noted to the contrary, part-time students are subject to the probation and dismissal rules applicable to full-time students who have completed the first-year curriculum only when the part-time students have completed the entire first-year curriculum. Part-time students do not receive a class rank until they have completed the entire first-year curriculum.  In all other respects, part-time students and full-time students attending more than six semesters are subject to probation and dismissal rules substantially equivalent to those applicable to full-time students.
