Registration for the Litigation Skills Program

Registration Process

The Litigation Skills department has a separate registration process which is done internally and completed earlier than regular law course registration. Students interested in taking Litigation Skills I cannot register online via MyUM but must complete a registration form online and submit it to the Litigation Skills office by the posted registration deadline. The registration deadline is usually 2 days after the law course schedule has been released.

Registration forms are processed according to a priority system depending on the semester. A list of students who were successfully enrolled in Litigation Skills I will be posted before students register for their other law classes.
