The seminar program varies somewhat every year. Some seminars are developed in response to particular student interests and requests; others are developed out of students' experiences in advanced courses. Still others are developed as new topics that are perceived by members of the faculty to be at the frontiers of the law.
While most seminars are available to all upper-class students, there are prerequisites for some; enrollment is generally limited to no more than 20 students. In a number of cases, admission requires the instructor's permission. Seminars are thereby designed to allow a close student-instructor relationship and highly informal class discussion. Generally, at least 25 seminars are offered each year.
