COURSE SELECTION AND REGISTRATION BY STUDENTS ENTERING
SECOND AND THIRD YEAR
A.
CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS AND CHOICES
All upper-year courses are single-term, 3-credit hour courses. There are no full-year
upper-year courses. (The Courts Clerkship course, however, requires registration in
both the Fall and Winter terms.)
To graduate, upper-year students must accumulate at least 60-credit hours after
completing first-year courses. Assuming students wish to graduate within two years of
completing first year, 30-credit hours must be taken in each of the second and third
years of the program. However, the pace with which students proceed through the J.D.
program is substantially within their control. So long as students complete all
requirements for their degree within four academic years after completion of the first
year of their J.D. program, the number of credit hours they carry in each academic year
is up to them. However, students electing to take the 60-credit hours over three or four
years, after first year of studies, should advise the Vice Dean of their plans.
No minimum number of credit hours per year (or per term) must be carried (please note:
for student loan purposes, a student must be registered in full-time studies, defined as
9-credit hours per term). The maximum number of credit hours is 15 credits per term.
This maximum may be exceeded only with the Vice Dean’s approval.
No year (2nd or 3rd) is attached to required upper-year courses. Hence, students may
take any upper-year course any time after completion of first year.
Students should familiarize themselves with the required courses, the written work
requirement, and the variety of optional courses available each year, and ensure that
they meet all requirements for graduation in accordance with the permissible time lines
and their goals.

additional sections are sufficiently different and the first choice of all other
students enrolling on either jurisprudence or legal history are first
accommodated.
2.
WRITTEN WORK REQUIREMENT
In either the second or third year of the J.D. program a student is required to complete a
written work assignment.
A student may satisfy this requirement by:

UPPER-YEAR COURSES BY AREAS OF CONCENTRATION
The J.D. program does not have formal specializations. However, the following
“clusters” of courses are intended to provide guidance for those interested in particular
subjects or areas of study. Students should consult with the Vice Dean or any Faculty
member for assistance with curriculum and timetable planning.
In preparation for admission to the bar, it is advantageous to leave Law School with a
broad knowledge of the law.

PREREQUISITES
Prerequisite courses for a course must be successfully taken before the course in
question is taken. Prerequisites are not co-requisites. In special circumstances a
prerequisite may be waived with the consent of the instructor AND the Vice Dean.
6.
CO-REQUISITES
Co-requisite courses for a course may be taken at the same time as the course in
question. In special circumstances a co-requisite may be waived with the consent of the
instructor AND the Vice Dean.
P a g e | 13
B.
PROHIBITED PRACTICES
1.
Registration in Two Sections of One Course
You CANNOT register in two sections of a course, UNLESS the course is Law 599
(Seminars on Specialized Legal Topics).
With the approval of the Vice Dean, you may register in more than one section of Law
486 (Jurisprudence) or Law 496 (Legal History) [each section is, in effect, a separate
course].
[NOTE re: Jurisprudence and Legal History: The LFC Policy Manual provides that
“The Vice Dean is empowered to permit students to take up to three additional
sections of Jurisprudence or Legal History during their upper years on being
satisfied that the content of such additional sections are substantively different
from one another.”]
We do check to ensure that double registration does not occur. If it is found that a
student is registered in two sections of the same course, he or she is notified that he or
she must choose which section he or she wishes to retain; the other section must be
dropped. If the student fails to drop a section by the specified date, the Faculty will
delete one of the sections from the student’s registration.
2.
Course Exchanges between Students
You are strongly urged to avoid course “exchanges” – i.e. one student registers in
course A, while another registers in course B: each student then attempts to drop his or
her own course and register in the friend’s dropped course. This “trick” may not work,
leaving at least one student without a desired course. The Faculty will not reverse the
transaction or provide relief to a student who has lost his or her part of the bargain.
3.
Conflicting Times
You cannot register in courses if the times conflict - i.e. you cannot be registered in two
different courses that occupy the same period of time. This rule applies even if the
temporal overlap is in the order of 20 or 30 minutes.
4.
Conflicting Examination Times
The onus is on the student to prevent examination conflicts. If an examination
conflict does occur, one of the conflicting courses must be dropped and no
accommodation for examinations will be made. An unresolved examination conflict
may result in an unexcused absence from an examination, a failing grade as a result,
with either the possibility of a re-examination and/or being required to withdraw.
P a g e | 14
C.
RESEARCH PAPER COURSE - LAW 526
Course selection may be enhanced by registration in a supervised research paper
course, worth 3 credits. Students must register in the course online and complete the
Research Paper form available in the Admissions/Records office 128E. The form
requires an outline of the research topic and ensures that consultation between the
student and the supervising instructor has taken place. The initial step for enrolling in
this course is to ask a full-time Faculty member to supervise your paper. If a student
has difficulty in identifying an appropriate faculty member, the student may consult with
the Vice Dean. Students may register in more than one research paper course, but
only one per term.
Note: The supervisor must be a full-time Faculty member. Sessional instructors
are not eligible.
D.
REGISTRATION IN COURSES OUTSIDE THE FACULTY
1.
University of Alberta non-Law Course
During an upper year, a student may take one non-Law course (maximum 3 credits) in
another Faculty of the University of Alberta.
Approval for the out-of-Faculty, non-Law course must be obtained from the Vice Dean
before registering in the course.
The course should be connected to your legal studies or career goals, but it cannot
duplicate or significantly overlap J.D. courses or any course for which you have
previously received credit.
NOTE: Students CANNOT take a non-University of Alberta, non-Law course for credit
for the J.D. program (of course, students are free to take courses for their own
purposes). [For example, students cannot take courses from Athabasca or Grant
MacEwan for credit.]
2.
Non-University of Alberta Law Course(s)
During an upper year, a student may take non-University of Alberta Law courses (e.g. in
a Spring or Summer Institute sponsored by a Faculty of Law of a university other than
the University of Alberta):
(a)
the maximum course credit that may be recognized is 6 credits;
(b)
an out-of-Faculty, non-Law course cannot be taken for credit if 6 credits
have been recognized for out-of-University Law courses;
(c)
if a student has already taken a University of Alberta non-Law course, the
P a g e | 15
maximum credit available for non-University of Alberta Law courses is 3
credits;
(d)
3.
approval for the non-University of Alberta Law course or courses must be
obtained from the Vice-Dean before registering in the course or courses.
Forms
The forms for the out-of-Faculty and non-University of Alberta Law course approvals are
available from the office of the Director of Academic and Cultural Support or the
Admissions office (Room 128).
E.
EXCHANGES AND ATTENDANCE AT OTHER LAW SCHOOLS
For information on exchange programs available to Law students, please see the
appropriate section of the Faculty website, talk to the Director of Academic and Cultural
Support and/or visit the Education Abroad Program, 3-600 Enterprise Square, 10230
Jasper Avenue, Edmonton [www.goabroad.ualberta.ca/].
You may also attend other law schools, on a visiting basis (for one or two terms), on a
letter of permission issued by the Vice Dean. Please consult the Vice Dean if you have
questions in this respect.
F.
COMPETITIVE UPPER-YEAR MOOTS
Students who successfully compete in the selection process in the Fall for competitive
moots and who participate on a moot team are eligible to register for Law 598 - Moot
Court Competition.
This course is for students selected to the Alberta Court of Appeal Moot, Client
Counselling Competition, Clinton J. Ford Moot, Gale Cup, Jessup Moot, Laskin Moot,
Kawaskimhon National Aboriginal Moot, Corporate Securities Law Moot, Labour
Arbitration Moot, National Taxation Moot, Health Law Moot, Intellectual Property Moot,
the Western Canada/National Trial Moot, or the Wilson Moot.
Upon being selected to a team, students must register in the appropriate course using
the online registration system prior to January 16, 2015. Registration must be
accompanied by completing and filing a Moot Competition Registration Form with the
Admissions Office by February 1, 2015. Late registration will be permitted in cases
where the selection to the moot occurs after this deadline. Due to the scheduling of the
Brimacombe Selection Round and/or selection for individual Moots, registration in Law
598 cannot occur in the Fall term.

August 15, 2014.
I.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
OUTLINES/SYLLABI
COURSE
DESCRIPTIONS
AND
COURSE
While every effort is made to ensure that course descriptions reflect eventual course
outlines, some development of courses may occur between the date of registration and
the term in which a course is delivered. The course outline or syllabus establishes the
framework for the course and supercedes the course description.
Since aspects of the courses described in the Course Descriptions may be amended,
students should consult course outlines/syllabi for the definitive descriptions of courses.
J.
AUDITING COURSES
Law students may register as an "audit" student in University courses. See the
Academic Schedule for audit registration deadlines and s. 22.1.10 of the Calendar for
auditing rules.
K.
