student may count no more than 16 credits of ungraded non-classroom work and clinical
fieldwork toward the degree. A student may not count more than 12 credits of clinical
fieldwork toward the degree. These limits do not apply to the seminar component of an
in-house clinic or an externship.

assigned to the seminar component and four to the fieldwork. Only the four
credits for fieldwork count toward the credit restrictions in this subsection.
Example: Student takes an externship that includes a two-credit seminar and
three credits for fieldwork. Only the three credits of fieldwork count toward the
credit restrictions in this subsection.
2.
Limit on non-classroom ungraded activities in one semester. A student may not receive
more than two units of credit in any semester for non-classroom ungraded activities, as
opposed to regular course work. Non-classroom ungraded activities which count toward

Review, Transnational Law Review, Journal Of Health and Biomedical Law, Journal of
High Technology Law, Moot Court, including Moot Court teams and Journal of Trial and
Appellate Advocacy, research assistantships, and concentration thesis credits. The
fieldwork component of an externship does not count toward this two-credit limit.
Example: Student takes an externship which includes a two-credit seminar and
three ungraded credits for fieldwork. The student may still receive two credits in
that semester for other non-classroom ungraded activities.
Example: Student receives two ungraded credits for work on a law school
journal. The student may not receive additional ungraded credits in the same
semester for a directed study, research assistantship or concentration thesis. The
student may receive credits for the ungraded fieldwork component of an
externship in that semester.
