| Legal Research Assignments |
|
Legal research is an integral part of attaining the proper required skills required to become and accomplished attorney. Accordingly, students at the Aristotle University College of Law, either in the J.D. or LL.M. programs, may be assigned multiple Legal Research Assignments (i.e., "homework") to complete which will be intended to assure their comprehensive and effective preparation and study of law. These Legal Research Assignments will have weekly deadlines and, depending upon the discretion of the Professor teaching a particular course, will be subject to a diminution in the grade assigned if they are submitted late beyond any deadline, and will be integrated through the Aristotle Scholar360 learner management system.
All assignments should be submitted upon completion in digital form (i.e., either as an attachment to an email (only MS Word is acceptable) or within the body of an email, depending upon the discretion of the Professor teaching a particular course. Alternative arrangements for submitting Legal Research Assignments may be provided at the discretion of the Professor teaching the particular course. Because Legal Research Assignments are intended to assure student's comprehensive and effective preparation in the study of law, when assigned, Legal Research Assignments are MANDATORY. The Aristotle University College of Law shall employ a sufficient number of Faculty to assure that the Faculty's response to, or evaluation of, each student’s legal research assignment (lesson, project, or Thesis) is emailed to the student within ten (10) days after the lesson, project, etc. was received by the Faculty. Make-Up Course Work In accordance with the policies and procedures of the Aristotle University College of Law, under extreme circumstances or cases of serious emergencies and illnesses, and upon approval of both the course Professor and Dean, a student may be permitted to re-schedule required LL.M. course work. A student must file a written request for such accommodation and provide proper documentary evidence of verification of such extreme circumstances, emergency or illnesses. If a make-up examination is granted, or alternative arrangements are granted, a fee may be assessed for each make-up examination that the student is permitted to take. |
