Guidelines for delivery of instruction at the Graduate School of Law:
1. Delivery is principally online.
2. Students' CAMERAS or videos MUST BE ON for the duration of the class.
3. Students should be required to submit research or reaction papers of very limited length (3 to 5 pages) regularly during the semester.
4. Students who incur 2 absences are to be dropped. There is no such thing as an excused absence since what matters are the contact hours.
5. Since no student may graduate without submitting a publishable article, professors have two roles: First, to moderate the writing of the papers: Second, to review it critically for publication. Thank you for your cooperation.
