If you are still considering adding a writing credit or a Directed Research to your fall 2015 schedule, please note that the deadline to do so is Wednesday, September 30, 2015 at 4:45 pm. You must add these classes by completing a paper add form in the appropriate program office. All deadlines are firm and no exceptions will be made.  

 

Writing Credit for a Seminar or Colloquium:

This writing credit can be used to satisfy the J.D. Substantial Writing Requirement. NOTE: If you selected the Substantial Writing Priority in ABRA and won the seminar, this did not automatically register you for the writing credit; you must add the writing credit to your schedule.

 

For detailed information about the Substantial Writing Requirement and a list of classes with a writing credit component, please see: http://www.law.nyu.edu/academicservices/degreerequirements/jdprogram/writingrequirements.

 

Directed Research:

To add Directed Research, a written proposal which has been signed by the supervising professor must be submitted to the student’s program office. The written proposal ordinarily is at least two pages double-spaced (or at least 1,000 words) and should describe the subject matter of the Directed Research and the issues the student intends to explore in the paper. (Please note that adjunct professors can only supervise Directed Research with the approval of the Vice Dean. The request should still be submitted to the student’s program office and that office will forward the same for the Vice Dean’s approval.) Please check the web site for more detailed information regarding the procedures to register for Directed Research:

http://www.law.nyu.edu/recordsandregistration/nonclassroomcredits/directedresearch

 

The staff in Academic Services (JDs) and the Office of Graduate Affairs (LLMs) will be happy to answer any questions you may have about this process.

The Faculty of Law of the Universidad de Chile will host the fourth annual Civil Law Student Congress in Santiago, Chile which will run March 16 – March 18, 2016.

 

The Civil Law Student Congress, first held in 2009, aims to position itself as a thinking and analytical space for the leading problems and global trends of the Civil Law, while striving for the participation of prime Chilean and foreign academics and promising professionals.

 

Each of the three days of the IV Civil Law Student Congress will be split in two sections: the first one will be held during the morning and will consist of expositions of previously selected papers sent by students. The papers will be analyzed and commented on by teachers or invited lawyers. The second section will take place in the afternoon and will take the form of sessions in which the invited academics, both national and foreign, will discuss matters such as Liability, Property Law and Consumer Law.

 

The organizers would like to extend a call for papers for the Congress to the students of NYU School of Law. If interested in participating, the student should send the paper to the email address contacto@congresocivil.cl before November 29th of 2015. The guidelines are available in www.congresocivil.cl/convocatoria-a-trabajos/

 

Visit the Congreso Estudiantil de Derecho Civil YouTube channel to see weekly testimonials of previous participants. At this link you will find a subtitled video of the testimony of one of the students who participated on the first version of the Congress in 2009 and who is today a Professor at the Universidad de Chile.

 

For more information about the IV Civil Law Student Congress and its previous versions you can visit www.congresocivil.cl or send an e-mail to contacto@congresocivil.cl.
