330 PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS
Since the school owes its primary responsibility to the people of the state of
Oregon, special emphasis is placed on Oregon substantive law and on Oregon
procedure. Courses based upon the common law are organized to provide the
student a thorough foundation in the fundamental principles of the common law
and an understanding of the modification of these principles in Oregon by judicial
decisions and statutes.
In the list of courses on pages 331-335, elective courses are indicated with an
asterisk (*). All other courses are required. The school reserves the right to make
any desirable or necessary changes in courses as listed and described.
The School of Law reserves the right to withhold recommendation for the
granting of a degree to any student who, in the opinion of the faculty of the school,
does not possess the character and abilities essential to the maintenance of the
public trust in the legal profession. Regular class attendance is required of students
in the School of Law. Credit for any course may be denied for irregular
attendance. Classes are regularly scheduled Monday through Saturday.
An honor system, which has been in operation in the School of Law for more
than thirty-five years, is applicable to all students in the school. The system is
explained to first-year students at an assembly at the opening of the fall term of
each year.
The requirements for the LL.B. and J.D. degrees are as follows:
Bachelor of Laws. Students who have met the requirements for admission
to the School of Law, and who have successfully completed courses in law aggregating
123 hours and have otherwise satisfied the requirements of the University
and the School of Law, will be granted the degree of Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.).
For the LL.B. degree the student must have a minimum grade-point average of
2.00 over the full three years of his work in the School of Law.
Doctor of Jurisprudence. The degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.D.) will
be granted to students who, in addition to satisfying the requirements for an LL.B.
degree:
(l) Obtain (at least one year before completing work for the law degree)
the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Business Administration,
or an equivalent degree from this University or some other institution of recognized
collegiate rank.
(2) Earn a minimum grade-point average of 3.00 in the School of Law.
(3) Complete 3 term hours in Thesis (L 503), involving the preparation,
under the direction of the faculty of the School of Law, of a thesis or series of
legal writings of high merit.
(4) Comply with such other requirements as the law faculty may from time
to time impose.
Transferred Credit. A student as a general rule may transfer not to exceed
one year of credit earned in another law school of recognized standing, provided
that, at the time he was admitted to the law school from which he wishes to transfer
credit, he could have met the then-existing admission requirements of the
University of Oregon School of Law. In exceptional cases only, a student may be
permitted to transfer not to exceed two years of credit. The right to reject any
and all such credit is reserved.
Application for admission by a student who has attended another law school
will not be considered unless: (1) the school from which transfer is sought is on
the list of schools approved by the American Bar Association and is a member
of the Association of American Law Schools; (2) the student is eligible for readmission
in good standing to the school previously attended; and (3) the student's
cumulative grade-point average for all professional law courses completed
is at least 2.00, when computed on the basis of the system of grade-point-average
