An applicant to the program must present a letter of good standing from the dean of his or her law school.

Any student wishing to take 7 credits (14 classroom hours per week) must petition an associate dean for special administrative approval. Day students wishing to take 6 or 7 credits (12 to 14 classroom hours per week) must petition an associate dean for special administrative approval.
