Faculty Supervised Writing Approval Form

To earn two credits and satisfy a J.D. graduation writing requirement, a law review article or

independent study paper must be supervised and graded by a member of the full-time

faculty. These papers are typically 30-40 pages and involve multiple drafts, incorporating

faculty feedback into subsequent draft(s). See ABA Standard 303(a)(2) and Interpretation

303-2.

This form must be fully executed before a student will be enrolled in supervised writing.
