Section Description
The Colloquium on Courts and the Legal Process brings together judges, scholars, and students to discuss current research about courts and judging.
It follows a works-in-progress workshop format: 3 times during the semester, an invited scholar will present a paper draft or a new research project. Typically, a judge of a federal, state, or foreign court will offer commentary on that research. Faculty and students will participate in the open discussion that follows.
Enrolled students will also attend a preparatory session in advance of each workshop session; students will be expected to prepare written critiques and questions for the speakers. Thus students are expected to attend 6 sessions in total. These sessions will take place at various points during the semester, depending on the speaker schedule.
This course is 1 credit. Grading is Credit/Fail (CR/F).
