Boston College Law School

Overview ^3-5

Boston College Law School is among the nation’s best law schools. Our success is based on a tradition of educating lawyers through theory and practice, shaping leaders prepared to grapple with society's most important moral and ethical questions. Those who earn our degree of Juris Doctor are well-versed in courtroom procedure and in legal history, and are as well-prepared to practice law as they are to discuss its theoretical underpinnings. Many have already had extensive experience researching and arguing cases through programs such as the Criminal Process, Attorney General Program or other clinics and externships, and in advocacy competitions and classroom simulations.

Since its founding in 1929, Boston College Law School has earned a national reputation for educational excellence, academic rigor, and the highest standards of professionalism.

Founded in 1929 as Boston College’s first graduate program, Boston College Law School held its opening classes in the 11-story Lawyer’s Building on Beacon Street in downtown Boston. It began with an enrollment of 54 ambitious students selected from an applicant pool of nearly 700. Despite the onset of the Great Depression that coincided with its early years, BC Law managed to thrive. In 1932, just three years after its founding, the school received American Bar Association accreditation, joining Harvard, Yale, and Boston University as the only law schools in New England to attain that distinction. By the fall of 1937, the school’s enrollment had grown to 350 students. By 1940 its ranks included women.

With its reputation and enrollment soaring, BC Law moved to Chestnut Hill in 1954, occupying the newly constructed St. Thomas More Hall on the edge of the BC campus. It was not until the University’s acquisition of the Newton College of the Sacred Heart in the early 1970s—creating what is now known as the Newton Campus—that the Law School found its permanent home.

Today BC Law is situated on an idyllic 40-acre campus with new and expanded classrooms, conference space, a state-of-the-art law library, and 700 students taught by 60 of the nation’s best full-time law faculty.

Class Ranking and Grades ¹⁰

Academic standing is most commonly determined by written examinations conducted at the conclusion of each course. In a number of courses, class participation or presentations may be included in the final grade. In classes in which class participation is counted toward the final grade, professors will provide students with clear notice on the course syllabus, and in opening comments made during the first week of classes.

In accordance with the American Bar Association accreditation standards, work submitted to meet course requirements is retained for one calendar year after the completion of the course. The papers, examination books, and other materials are then destroyed.

The grading system of the Law School is as follows:

A+	4.00
A-	3.67
B+	3.33
B	3.00
B-	2.67
C+	2.33
C	2.00
C-	1.67
D	1.00
F	0.00
I	Incomplete
W	Withdrawal

Grading definitions by verbal descriptions

The following descriptions explain the meaning of the grade labels used at Boston College Law School. Faculty members should assign grades consistently with this explanation.

A, A- Exceptional work which demonstrates a superior level of academic accomplishment in the area of study.

B+, B, B- Good work, which demonstrates achievement of a level of academic accomplishment in the area of study distinctly above that expected of a minimally competent graduate of an accredited American law school. Given the standards of Boston College Law School, this level of performance is expected of most graduates of the law school.

C+, C Competent work, which demonstrates achievement of a level of academic accomplishment in the area of study expected of a minimally competent graduate of an accredited American law school. Given the standards of Boston College Law School, this level of performance is below that expected of most graduates of this law school.

C-, D Unsatisfactory work, which does not demonstrate achievement of the minimum level of competence, expected of any graduate of an accredited American law school but which demonstrates enough potential for improvement that the student could reasonably be expected to achieve such a level by conscientious study.

F Failing work, which reflects a level of learning and ability in the area of study so low as to indicate that the student has failed to perform the work, reading, and study expected of students enrolled in the course. No credit is given for a course in which an F is received, although the F will be used in computing cumulative and annual averages.

I Incomplete, which is given when the student has not completed course requirements. The student must arrange with the professor to satisfy the course requirements within one semester. An incomplete becomes an F if the incomplete is not removed within the agreed-upon time.

Pass/Fail Elective

Optional pass/fail grading for classes with enrollments of less than 25 and evaluated by means other than examination. Instructors in classes with enrollments of less than 25 and evaluated by means other than examination may, after consultation with the Associate Dean for Faculty, offer such classes on a pass/fail basis. Such option must be announced to students before registration. Students in a pass/fail class may not opt for a letter grade, nor may the instructor change the class from pass/fail to letter grades.

J.D. students may take a total of six credits, in no more than two classes, on a pass/fail basis in their second and third years if such an option is offered by the professor in a particular class. Constitutional Law II and Professional Responsibility cannot be taken on a pass/fail basis.

LL.M. students may take up to three credits, in no more than one class, on a pass/fail basis during the LL.M. year. The United States Legal System, and Law Practice I and Law Practice II may not be taken on a pass/fail basis.

Students who wish to exercise the Pass/Fail option must obtain the appropriate form from Academic Services. Deadlines for returning the form will be announced each semester. All choices for pass/fail are final and cannot be changed once the deadline has passed.

Grade Normalization (Curve)¹¹

For all classes in which students are evaluated by examination, the mean grade should be approximately 3.2, and the distribution of grades should be approximately as follows:

A	10%
A-	15%
B+	25%
B	35%
B-	10%
C+ and below	5%

If an instructor concludes that the performance of the class being graded does not justify the above distribution of grades, the percentages set out in the table need not be followed. It is anticipated such circumstances will arise more often in classes with smaller enrollments, and that larger divergence from the prescribed mean will be justified more often in classes with smaller enrollments. Accordingly, instructors have discretion to vary the mean grades for their classes as follows:

1. For classes with enrollments of 40 or more, the mean grade may be as high as 3.30 or as low as 3.0.

2. For classes with enrollments of fewer than 40, the mean grade may be as high as 3.4 or as low as 2.9.

Instructors who wish to assign grades with means outside these ranges must consult with the Dean for Faculty before doing so. If good cause for divergence outside the prescribed range does not exist, the Associate Dean shall urge the instructor to adjust his or her grading approach so as to bring it into conformity with the grading standards set forth above.

For classes with enrollments of less than 25 in which students are evaluated by means other than examination (including seminars and clinics), the suggested mean grade is 3.5. If an instructor concludes that the performance of the class being graded does not justify a mean grade of 3.5, the instructor may assign grades with a mean in the range of 3.4 to 3.7. Instructors who wish to assign grades with means outside these ranges must consult with the Dean for Faculty before doing so. If good cause for divergence outside the prescribed range does not exist, the Associate Dean shall urge the instructor to adjust his or her grading approach so as to bring it into conformity with the grading standards set forth above.

Journals ^14-18

The Boston College Law Review

The Boston College Law Review is the oldest scholarly publication at Boston College Law School. The Review publishes articles concerning legal issues of national interest. The Review publishes five issues each year that include articles and essays written by prominent outside authors (such as Professor Edward Imwinkelried, Reverend Jesse Jackson, and Judge Leon Higginbotham).

In addition to articles written by outside academics, the Review prints the work of its student staff writers, roughly one-third of whom publish their notes during their third year. Recent editions have contained student notes examining such diverse issues as tipper/tippee liability under the misappropriation theory of insider trading, plea bargains struck under the threat of enemy combatant detention, balancing women’s reproductive rights against a pharmacist’s conscientious objection, and refinements of the definition of property for due process purposes. As third-year staff members, students get to hone their skills further by editing the work of other writers. The Review also organizes, sponsors, and publishes articles from academic symposia. The 2006 symposium was entitled “Owning Standards.”

The Boston College Environmental Affairs Law Review

First published in 1971, Boston College Environmental Affairs Law Review (EA) is one of the nation's two oldest law reviews dedicated to environmental law. Having developed and maintained a national reputation as one of the country's leading environmental and land use journals, EA has the highest subscription rate among the law reviews at Boston College Law School.

In recent years, articles have addressed such diverse topics as toxic pollution, global warming, public and private property rights, affordable housing, kosher food laws, economic analysis of environmental regulation, and animal rights.

The Boston College International & Comparative Law Review

The Boston College International & Comparative Law Review is one of approximately 30 law reviews in the United States that focus on international legal issues, and one of only two that publishes an annual survey of European Union law. The Review publishes two issues annually. The spring issue usually consists of two articles by outside authors and four student pieces. International and Comparative's scope is expansive and the Review pursues articles that address a variety of international and comparative law issues such as human rights, cross-border environmental disputes, arms control, covert action, international investment, International Court of Justice jurisdiction, and terrorism, to name only a few. Because a growing number of domestic policy issues have international implications, these areas of international law are becoming increasingly important to U.S. practitioners.

The Boston College Journal of Law & Social Justice

The Boston College Journal of Law & Social Justice (founded in 1978 and publishing its first thirty-one volumes as the Third World Law Journal) is a unique periodical that fills the need for a progressive, alternative legal perspective on issues both within the United States and in the developing world. The Journal's scope includes issues affecting underrepresented populations, human and civil rights, immigration, women's and children's issues, and issues of disproportionate economic impact. Published twice annually, the Journal contains both articles by outside authors and student notes and comments. The founders of the Journal envisioned it as a forum for discussing legal issues affecting people, cultures, and institutions that share a common history of colonialism, oppression, under-representation, and marginalization in the political and economic processes. Today, the Journal’s scope recognizes that issues of disproportionate economic impact implicate a complex matrix of social, economic, and political crises confronting minority groups in both the developed and developing worlds.

The Boston College Third World Law Journal

Founded in 1978, the Third World Law Journal is a unique legal periodical that fills the need for a progressive, alternative legal perspective on issues both within the United States and in the developing world. The Journal's scope includes issues affecting underrepresented populations, human and civil rights, immigration, women's and children's issues, and issues of disproportionate economic impact. Published twice annually, the Journal contains articles by outside authors, student notes, and student book reviews. The founders of the Journal envisioned it as a forum for discussing legal issues affecting people, cultures, and institutions that share a common history of colonialism, oppression, under-representation, and marginalization in the political and economic processes. Third World problems are a complex matrix of social, economic and political crises confronting minority groups, indigenous cultures and under-industrialized nations.

The Journal's 30-member staff (15 second- and 15 third-year students) is comprised of individuals with diverse backgrounds and interests. It is a group dedicated to offering insightful treatment of contemporary legal issues that are frequently overlooked by other legal publications. Past topics have included truth commissions in El Salvador and Guatemala, English as the official language, sexual orientation law in South Africa and Zimbabwe, and the 50 years since the trials at Nuremberg.

Moot Court ^19-20

The Wendell F. Grimes Moot Court Competition

The highlight of our advocacy slate and the most prestigious BC Law intramural competition. Students sharpen their written and appellate advocacy skills writing briefs and preparing oral arguments on Constitutional or federal statutory interpretation. Held each spring.

Business Transactions

The premier moot court experience for students interested in transactional practice and part of the Law Meet collection of interactive educational competitions. Student teams prepare and propose draft agreements and negotiate deals during regional and national meets.

Third-Year Academic Moot Court Competitions

Third-year students can also participate in a range of external moot court competitions, including:

• National Moot Court
• Philip C. Jessup Moot Court
• European Law Moot Court
• National Environment Law Moot Court
• J. Braxton Craven Moot Court
• National Criminal Procedure Moot Court
• First Amendment Moot Court

Clinical Programs ^21-32

Lawyers, judges, and legal educators overwhelmingly endorse the value of clinical education. Clinical work performed by students provides an immeasurable benefit to the clients and agencies they serve.

In BC Law's clinics, students work in civil litigation, criminal justice, juvenile rights, immigration law, issues affecting women, the wrongly convicted, government practice, community development, the prevention of homelessness, the role of the judiciary, and many other individually selected areas, along with programs permitting students to practice law in London, Paris, and in many other locations around the world.

We have some of the most experienced clinical teachers, supervisors, and scholars in the nation. Students learn how law works in practice, and how a lawyer's approach influences the value, direction, and quality of the legal process.

Criminal Justice

Our Criminal Justice Clinic comprises the Defender Program, the Prosecution Program, and the Criminal Justice Clinic Class. Combining defense and prosecution programs grants students access to a range of perspectives and experiences in criminal case preparation and presentation, and is designed to encourage reflective discernment considering a broad range of perspectives.

Innocence Program

In the Boston College Innocence Program, students study erroneous convictions and work to remedy or prevent such injustices. We offer one of the most diverse ranges of innocence experiential opportunities in the country, including our in-house Innocence Clinic and externships and collaborations with public, private, and nonprofit organizations representing innocent prisoners in post-conviction litigation and reforming public policy.

Our Clinic focuses on cases where DNA and forensic evidence is not enough to prove innocence, giving students the opportunity to engage in complex factual investigation as well as work with forensic experts. The BC Innocence clinic collaborates with the Committee for Public Counsel Services Innocence Program, and CPCS and BCIP act as co-counsel in all aspects of the investigation and litigation of the clinic's cases.

Ninth Circuit Appellate Program

Arguing a case in federal appeals court is a prestigious distinction—one many attorneys go their entire careers without attaining. Through our Ninth Circuit Appellate Program, our students gain access to this distinguished opportunity, arguing real immigration cases and assisting indigent clients who would otherwise be without counsel. Students hone high-level skills in client communication, legal research, brief writing, and oral advocacy, preparing cases before traveling to the court in San Francisco and presenting oral arguments in front of a panel of sitting judges.

The NCAP’s mission goes beyond providing opportunities to students. A central criticism of immigration law is that it does not distinguish between the most serious criminal offenses and those that the courts do not normally consider serious or deserving of incarceration. By advocating for non-citizens with criminal convictions in federal immigration cases, the clinic aims to restore a sense of proportionality and common sense to the immigration consequences of criminal convictions. In addition to the impact of criminal convictions on immigration and deportation, important issues in past cases have included asylum, withholding, and Convention Against Torture claims.

The clinic takes advantage of a unique program within the United States Courts of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, which screens pro se petitions filed by non-citizens to identify strong cases and new issues. The court accelerates the briefing schedule of the selected cases to coincide with the academic year, allowing law students to represent these clients. The Court assigns cases in June of each year, and students work in teams of two, delivering an opening brief in October, a reply brief in January, and presenting oral argument in San Francisco the following April. The court lists students' names on the resulting decisions.

Civil Litigation

Students act as practicing lawyers representing actual clients, working on cases covering family law, landlord-tenant disputes, and public benefits.

They plan and conduct every phase of civil litigation, including:

• Initial client interviews
• Legal strategy
• Counseling clients
• Pretrial discovery and motion hearings
• Settlement negotiations
• Pleadings
• Courtroom advocacy, including trials and administrative hearings
• Drafting and arguing appeals

Clinical faculty guide students, attending hearings and trials and giving feedback at every stage.

Community Enterprise Clinic

Counseling a high-tech incubator for minority entrepreneurs, representing a restaurant workers’ advocacy organization, helping a small business navigate import law—these are just some of the opportunities available through our Community Enterprise Clinic (CEC).

The CEC puts students at the center of transactional legal matters as they assist emerging businesses, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits with intellectual property issues, commercial leases, and 501(c)(3) exemptions

Entrepreneurship & Innovation Clinic

Entrepreneurs — social entrepreneurs, tech founders, authors, filmmakers, musicians— come to the free Entrepreneurship & Innovation Clinic (EIC) for transactional legal services that bring their ideas to life.

During the EIC, students navigate the rapidly evolving field of entrepreneurship law, which includes intellectual property, licensing, regulation, and corporate formation. Our region’s thriving innovation economy ensures the experience is as valuable to students as it is to clients.

Housing Law Clinic

Lawyers play a pivotal role in addressing the pervasive circumstances around homelessness, and our Housing Law Clinic allows students to acquire vital experience resolving issues like eviction, foreclosure, and access to government-funded housing.

Students also sharpen their trial and negotiation skills in a weekly seminar covering the ethical, social, and political underpinnings of public interest practice and homelessness.

Immigration Clinic

Students translate their learning into practice and represent noncitizens in the Immigration Court of Boston. Other enriching experiences include assisting asylum seekers, acquiring visas for crime victims, and ensuring people in immigrant communities know their rights.

Students gain vital practice skills in interviewing, drafting affidavits, preparing clients for interviews, and researching documents as they do this critical—and sometimes life-saving—work.

Juvenile Rights Advocacy Project

From representing teens to guiding immigration decisions and shaping policy, students involved with the Juvenile Rights Advocacy Project (JRAP) engage with multiple facets of children’s law. JRAP specializes in representing and serving as Guardian ad Litem for youth in multiple systems, building ongoing relationships and maintaining a continuity of representation.

Attorneys and students collaborate with staff social workers and graduate social work students from the Boston College School of Social Work to provide clients with comprehensive, interdisciplinary assistance.

Prison Disciplinary Clinic

Representing clients at prison disciplinary hearings will give students a window into the hidden world of prisons. Massachusetts is one of the only states that allow students to represent clients at these hearings. All students will meet and interview clients in maximum security prisons, conduct discovery and investigation, file motions, cross-examine witnesses, make closing arguments and file appeals when necessary. Because the hearings are relatively short, students will be able to have multiple hearings each term.

Amicus Brief Clinic

The Amicus Brief Clinic will provide students and faculty an opportunity to weigh in on, and attempt to influence, the development of the law and public policy in the courts.

The Amicus Curiae, or “friend of the court”, brief provides a formal avenue for interested non-parties to offer new information and unique insights to a court as it considers a matter. The amicus brief procedure allows the court to take advantage of expertise with respect to a matter or policy that is before the court and to consider implications of the court's ruling beyond those raised by the parties to the litigation. Amicus briefs are accepted under certain conditions by a wide variety of courts, including the US Supreme Court, federal and state appellate courts, as well as international tribunals such as the European Court of Human Rights, the International Criminal Court, the Court of Justice of the European Union, among many others. The Amicus Brief Clinic is a “pop-up” clinic at BCLS. A pop-up clinic is a temporary clinic established and run for a very short period of time and for a specific purpose. The temporary nature of a pop-up clinic is intended to provide the Law School with the flexibility to respond to opportunities for students to learn and engage with current legal issues without the Law School making a long-term commitment to a subject matter or problem that might only be short term in nature. In the Amicus Brief Clinic faculty will identify an important legal issue being considered or soon to be considered by a court. Faculty will then guide a small student team in the process of researching, writing, editing, and submitting an amicus brief to the court for consideration. The Amicus Brief Clinic is a 2-credit, one-semester clinical opportunity. Although the subject matter and faculty leader of each amicus brief will be different, every Amicus Brief Clinic will include instruction and supervision on legal research and writing as well as the rules relating to submission of amicus briefs.

Externships/Internships ³⁴

Externships

Our Externship programs help students develop those qualities and skills they will need to become successful practitioners by combining theory and practice, while also providing opportunities to reflect upon and instill the moral and ethical values that underlie a rational and just application of law. Our flagship Semester-in-Practice Programs give our students the chance to spend up to 37 hours a week working in the field, while retaining the crucial seminar component for reflection on their experiences and for faculty guidance. Work locally or around the world in diverse settings and practice areas and learn on the job from experienced lawyers--many of them BC Law alumni--who are committed to helping our students succeed.

Our unique Tethered Externships pair a traditional podium course with an experiential seminar and part-time placement, all taught and guided by full-time faculty members. We are one of the only schools in the country with this model. We also offer many other exciting specialized externship programs, from our much admired Attorney General Program to our remarkable Innocence Program externship, where students fight for the rights of the wrongly imprisoned.

This is how you build your network, learn what kind of law you want to practice, and figure out what kind of lawyer you want to become. Whatever you choose, our faculty will be with you every step of the way.

Specialized Externships

Our Semester in Practice Program offers students an immersive, full-time work experience. But sometimes students looking for practice skills need more flexible options. Both our tethered externships and our specialized externship programs provide students with the opportunity to gain professional experience part-time over the course of an entire semester at a state or local government agency or a court.

Unlike many other law schools, our specialized externships provide strong on-site support through an attorney employed at the placement, or through an adjunct faculty member who has a close relationship with the placement. Students take an accompanying course that is taught by the placement attorney or adjunct professor, which allows a more holistic approach to learning on the job.
