Term Essays
In addition to the law courses listed above, students may elect to complete a 10,000-15,000 research essay during the summer term. It is the responsibility of applicants to arrange with a full-time member of the Faculty to act as a supervisor for their essays. Supervisory resources are limited, so it is best to approach potential supervisors as early as possible. A list of supervisors and areas of interest appears on page 56 of the Course Offerings 2012-2013 document available on our Current courses & registration information page. And don't forget to refer to our page on Written course work and essays as well.
The term essay on-line application form is available on the SAO web site. A proposed table of contents, a clear statement of the essay thesis, and a preliminary bibliography of sources must be appended to the application form and approved by the supervisor. Applications are to be submitted online no later than May 16, 2013 by 15:00 for the Summer Term 2013. Students must register in the appropriate term essay course on Minerva before the end of add/drop, please see Calendar of Dates.
Summer essays are due via SAOAssignments [dot] law [at] mcgill [dot] ca on August 16, 2013 at 15:00.
Les étudiants ne peuvent s’inscrire pour plus que deux Term Essays dans une session. Si non, chaque Term Essay doit avoir son propre superviseur.
