Syllabi Download / First Week Reading Assignments

Review this list to determine if your professor has posted the syllabus and/or first reading assignment for your courses. New syllabi and reading assignments are posted frequently as the new semester approaches, so check back often. If no reading assignment is listed on this chart, it may be listed within the syllabus itself; or you may check for manually posted reading assignments in the Registrar's office on the first floor of the law school building. The syllabi provides a general outline of how the course may be taught, but should not be relied upon for determining the actual textbooks, exam schedule, etc. That information will be unique to each professor and provided to you at the beginning of the course.

IF YOU DO NOT SEE A CURRENT SYLLABUS OR READING ASSIGNMENT FOR THE SPRING SEMESTER, PLEASE CHECK FOR POSTED ASSIGNMENTS IN THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE.
