</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century",serif">Happy Memorial Day. I hope this weekend has been one of renewal and reflection.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century",serif">I am attaching the full course schedule for the upcoming fall. I am delighted we will be offering several new courses that our visiting faculty will be teaching. And, of course, I am saddened
that we have had to cancel courses by our faculty pursuing new career opportunities.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Century",serif">Course Cancellations, Additions, and Changes:
</span></b><span style="font-family:"Century",serif">The course changes and additions are highlighted on the attached spreadsheet in pink. Professor Frohnen is offering two terrific new jurisprudence classes and Professor Ligon will be offering a class on
Media Law. We will also offer Sports Law as a class rather than clinic. All of the course descriptions for these new classes are attached. Finally, please note a few classes will be taught by different faculty. Professor Ribeiro will teach a section of
Evidence and Professor Ligon will teach a section of Professional Responsibility & Ethics. The Community Law Clinic is being split between work on criminal and civil matters. Please make sure you register for your preferred practice area. Finally, Administrative
Law is no longer being offered this fall. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Century",serif">Trial Advocacy:
<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century",serif">I am delighted that Professor Romey will be teaching Trial Advocacy this fall. She brings a wealth of experience to our faculty. Separately, I have made a few changes to the Trial Advocacy performance
sections. Please make sure the course number (800P) and section (LRXX) now matches the day you want to take the class. Professors Terry, Campbell, Fields, and others will be added to the schedule once we have a better idea of how registration shakes out
and where the need will be on each of the three days. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Century",serif">RWE: </span></b><span style="font-family:"Century",serif">The RWE requirement is now satisfied by students taking ALW. Students are not required to take a separate class or do independent studies
to satisfy the RWE requirement. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century",serif">You may take these six courses in whatever sequence you choose so long as you complete them by the end of your 2L year. You may not take them all in one semester, however. My strong recommendation
is that you take at least three (3) but not more than four (4) each semester. Any less than three per semester and you risk significant class conflicts.
