1 J.D./Ph.D. in Government JOINT DEGREE STUDENT HANDBOOK GEORGETOWN LAW
2 September 2012 Dear J.D./Government Student: As a J.D./Government student, your experience at Georgetown Law will be shaped by the interdisciplinary nature of your program of study as well as your membership in two academic communities with distinct rules, procedures, and cultures. The academic careers of J.D./Government students are primarily administered by the policies of Georgetown Law and of the Department of Government as articulated in the Georgetown Law Bulletin, the Graduate School Bulletin and Catalog, and the Government Department Graduate Program Handbook. This handbook addresses areas in which unique policies have been developed to address the particular needs of J.D./Government and other joint degree students. Specifically, this handbook contains: (1) Georgetown Law and Main Campus academic calendars, (2) a roster of administrators in the program, (3) summaries of policies and procedures that affect J.D./Government students, and (4) a listing of program requirements. A checklist of J.D./Government requirements is included as an Appendix to assist you in planning your program of study. The nature of a joint degree program demands that students keep up with the administrative details of both programs. Both programs will communicate with you via your Georgetown e- mail account. Important Law Center deadlines are also announced in the What s Happening! newsletter which is available at The Law Center Office of Career Services (OCS) and Office of Public Interest & Community Services (OPICS) communicate information about programs, opportunities, and deadlines via the Hoya Headlines blog which you may subscribe to by visiting either office s website. Please contact me if you have any questions about the material that follows or if I can assist you in other ways. It is important to keep this handbook throughout your four-year program. Students will be informed of any policy changes by . Please contact me at (202) or gm721@law.georgetown.edu to suggest improvements or additions to this handbook. Wishing you all the best as you pursue a joint degree program! Sincerely, Gilda Mossadegh Gilda Mossadegh Director, J.D. Programs 2

10 IV. CURRICULUM/PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS J.D./Government students must complete all required courses and the total number of academic credits for graduation (76 in law and 48 in Government for the M.A. (with 9 credits of Government coursework counted toward the J.D. degree), plus an additional 15 credits for the Ph.D. in the fields of Comparative Government, International Relations, or Political Theory or an additional 18 credits for the Ph.D. in American Government). Approximately 21 J.D. credits will count toward the Ph.D. degree. Therefore, students must take about 27 credits unique to the Ph.D. degree; perform satisfactorily on a written foreign language examination; satisfy the Government major and minor field requirements; submit a dissertation proposal; successfully complete and defend a dissertation in Government; take a Professional Responsibility course and upperclass legal writing requirement course; and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00/4.00 in the Government Program and the required minimum cumulative GPA for the J.D. program. The Government program waives the minor comprehensive examination requirement for students who earn a B+ or better in three law courses. A typical distribution of course requirements appears under Section D, Program Requirements Grid. A. Georgetown Law Requirements J.D./Government students matriculating in August 2008 and thereafter must earn 85 Georgetown Law credits to graduate. As a joint J.D./Government student, 9 credits of Government coursework count toward the 85 credits needed to earn the J.D. degree. Therefore, J.D./Government students must complete 76 Georgetown Law credits for the J.D. portion of this joint degree. J.D./Government students must complete the following requirements of the J.D. program: (1) 31 credits of first-year required coursework; (2) a professional responsibility course (3) the upperclass legal writing requirement; and (4) the residency requirement. Students who entered the program prior to August 2008 must earn 84 Georgetown Law credits to graduate (75 in law and 9 credits of Government coursework counted toward the J.D. degree). All graduation requirements are described in detail in the Georgetown Law Bulletin at B. Government Degree Requirements 1. Major and Minor Fields Ph.D. students must complete six courses in a major field (American Government, Comparative Government, International Relations, or Political Theory). In addition, students fulfill their minor requirement by earning a B+ or better in three law courses. 10
11 2. Theory and Methods Requirement All students must complete five courses in Theory and Methods. These courses must include: GOVT-780, Fundamentals of Political Theory GOVT-701, Analysis of Political Data GOVT-702, Advanced Political Analysis And two additional courses in political theory or methods 3. Foreign Language Requirement Some major fields require competence in a foreign language. Students should consult the Government Department s Graduate Program Handbook for field-specific language requirements. 4. Comprehensive Exams Most Ph.D. students are required to take comprehensive examinations in one major and one minor field. J.D./Government students fulfill their minor requirement by earning a B+ or better in three law courses, in which case no separate comprehensive exam is required. J.D./Government students must take the comprehensive exam in their major field when they have completed the relevant coursework. 5. Thesis Please see the Government Department s Graduate Program Handbook for details about Dissertation Proposal, Committees, and Defenses. 6. Ph.D. Qualifying Appraisal After completing 12 credit hours of Ph.D. coursework, Ph.D. students are evaluated by a qualifying appraisal, with the purpose of deciding whether a student should continue in the Ph.D. program as determined by the student s intellectual potential and scholarly performance. The appraisal is conducted by a meeting of the field committee in the student s major field. Appraisal materials should be prepared by the student in consultation with his or her advisor and the Field Committee Chair. The materials should include a transcript showing course grades, two letters of evaluation and a paper written for a Georgetown graduate course in the student s major field. 11
12 C. Planning Your Upper level Curriculum J.D./Government students are encouraged to take advantage of the vast course offerings at Georgetown Law that supplement their study of American Government, International Relations, Comparative Government, or Political Theory. Upperclass offerings likely to be of interest to J.D./Government students include courses that explore the legal constraints on governmental powers, administrative and regulatory law, jurisprudence and legal history, international law, comparative law, and courses that focus on legal issues surrounding specific policy questions. Students course selection should be driven by their major field in the Ph.D. program, specific research interests, or career aspirations. Students planning an academic career in political science may focus on incorporating legal analysis into their political science scholarship. These students should also take advantage of research assistantships at Georgetown Law, which provide the opportunity to participate in faculty scholarship in areas of interest. For information about the Georgetown Law Research Fellowship program, which is designed to support emerging scholars who seek to pursue a law teaching career, visit Likewise, a Ph.D. in government, one or more publications, strong grades, and an area of demonstrated excellence will stand you in good stead in the law teaching market. Additional guidance can be found at: Students planning legal practice in international law or regulatory and administrative law may take a core of courses in these areas to supplement their broader understanding of the political context in which law is interpreted and administered. J.D./Government students should consult the online Curriculum Guide available at for informative essays [under the Curriculum tab, search the drop down menu under J.D. courses] about the major areas of the law curriculum. These essays provide an in-depth discussion of the course offerings in the several fields that draw from the disciplines of law and government. 12
13 D. Program Requirements Grid Degrees/certificates awarded Degree Requirements J.D.

14 Minor Field Examination: can be waived Two General Electives (6 credits) Electives (in any field) (6 credits) *One fewer credit is required for students who completed the first-year law curriculum prior to August **Students typically schedule Professional Responsibility in a semester in which they plan to take the M.P.R.E. exam (Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination). It is a good idea to check on the rules regarding admission to the bar in the state where you are interested in taking the bar exam. Some states may have special timing rules on when you must take the M.P.R.E. exam (e.g. Illinois will NOT accept an M.P.R.E. score if the test was taken before the student completes 60 law credits). A. Credit Load V. ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES Students may enroll in up to 16 credits university-wide (i.e. J.D. and Government) in an academic semester. Permission from Gilda Mossadegh, Director of J.D. Programs, or another Academic Advisor, is required to enroll in 17 credits. At the end of the Law Center add/drop period, students who have not been granted permission to carry an overload will be withdrawn from the last course which was added to their course schedule. B. J.D. Registration Georgetown Law students pre-register for the following academic year (fall and spring semesters) in Spring, typically in May. Main Campus pre-registration occurs each semester. The Main Campus course offerings for the following spring are not yet available in April/May when J.D./ Government students select their J.D. courses for both Fall and Spring semesters. J.D./Government students are nonetheless encouraged to pre-register for spring classes at Georgetown Law and make any necessary adjustments during the add/drop period. In order to plan for possible alternative schedules on the Main Campus, some J.D./Government students register for more law courses than they will actually take. Joint degree students may hold 22 credits university-wide (J.D. and Government credits combined) per semester through the Law Center s add/drop period, but must drop to credits per semester by the end of the Law Center s add/drop period for the respective semester (unless approval to overload has been granted by the Director of J.D. Programs, or another Academic Advisor). Gilda Mossadegh, Director of J.D. Programs, is available to assist students in their academic planning. She can be reached at (202) or by at gm721@law.georgetown.edu. 14
15 C. Main Campus Registration J.D./Government students are notified of the Main Campus registration dates by the Department of Government. Registration is completed online and the Government course offerings can be obtained online through the schedule of classes search tool on MyAccess at D. Registration for Language Courses Students must register for all language courses during add/drop week at the Main Campus. Language courses are not applied to the government degree credit requirements. E. Exam Conflicts Students are encouraged to work with their Main Campus faculty members to resolve exam conflicts because the Main Campus exam schedule is generally the more flexible. If this is not possible, Georgetown Law exams can be rescheduled if certain criteria are met. Under Georgetown Law rules, no student is required to take two exams that begin within 25 hours. In addition, a student may seek relief if his/her exam schedule produces three exams within four consecutive days or four exams within five consecutive days, or for extraordinary cause. Generally, the exam for the class carrying the fewest number of credits will be rescheduled. Please note that Georgetown Law exams are blind graded and you should not contact your law professors regarding exam conflicts. Check your exam schedule early in the semester and contact the Georgetown Law Registrar s Office if you need to reschedule your exams. The exam deferral policy is found in the Georgetown Law Bulletin at F. Commuting Between Campuses Students may use the GUTS shuttle to get back and forth between campuses. Students with a valid GoCard may ride any GUTS route at no charge. The shuttle between Georgetown Law and the Main Campus runs every hour to hour and a half. In addition, the university runs more frequent shuttles to the metro stations at Dupont Circle (Metro s Red line) and Rosslyn (Metro s Blue and Orange lines). The GUTS schedule and Next-Bus tool is available at Another popular and inexpensive commuting option is the DC Circulator bus system. For route maps, fare information, and Next-Bus information for the DC Circulator and other Metro bus routes, please visit 15
16 Parking at Georgetown Law is very limited so J.D./Government students, like all law students, may not always find a space. Law Center students may pay to park in the McDonough garage on level P2 on a space available basis, if they have registered their car with and obtained a hangtag from the Law Center s parking office. GoCards issued by the Law Center are automatically programmed to allow them access to the garage, and to deduct the per entry parking fee of $8.00. Parking for students at the Law Center garage tends to fill up on weekdays during the semester by 9:30 AM. Students may access the garage for free after 5:00 PM. When you register your car with the Law Center Parking Office, please confirm that your GoCard has been programmed to allow you access to the McDonough garage. The Law Center s Parking Office is located in McDonough 154 (facilitiesmgmt@law.georgetown.edu, (202) ). The Main Campus does not permit student parking. Students may however pay (in cash) to park in their garages as a visitor if space is available. G. Tuition Full-time J.D./Government students are charged Georgetown Law tuition for three years of the program (the year when only first-year J.D. courses are taken and the two years when a combination of J.D. and Government courses are taken). Students are charged Graduate School tuition for the other years in the program (the second and fifth years when only Government courses are taken). Part-time J.D./Government students are charged the Georgetown Law part-time rate for all J.D. coursework and the first 9 credits in Government. For the remaining Government coursework (after the first 9 credits), part-time students are charged the Graduate School part-time rate. Full-time law tuition for is $48,835. The Law Center s per credit rate for part-time students is $1,730 per credit hour. H. Financial Aid Students starting the joint degree program while attending the Law Center will have their federal and other loan aid administered by the Law Center Financial Aid Office for the duration of the program. Students starting the joint degree program while attending the Government program will have their financial aid administered by Main Campus for the first year and the Law Center Financial Aid office for the subsequent three years. After completion of the J.D. degree, a student s financial aid will be administered by the Main Campus. 16
17 Any aid granted by the Main Campus should be reported to the Law Center Financial Aid Office so that it can be factored into the calculation of the student s eligibility for additional aid. Similarly, any aid granted by the Law Center to a student beginning the joint degree on Main Campus should be reported to the Main Campus financial aid office. Any student who enrolls in fewer than 12 credits in any given semester should report this fact to the Law Center s Financial Aid Office, as their standard practice is to calculate aid for full-time tuition. LaToya Parnell, Assistant Director, Law Center Financial Aid, will be the primary contact for joint degree students. Ms. Parnell can be reached at (202) or lkp5@law.georgetown.edu. VI. PARTICIPATION IN EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES A. Law Journal Membership J.D./Government students are eligible for membership on the law journals on the same basis as all other J.D. students. Joint degree students must participate in the write-on competition at the end of their first year at Georgetown Law. However, it is not uncommon for joint degree students to defer journal service for one year. Each journal has its own policy regarding deferral of service, so interested students should contact the editor-in-chief of the journal to discuss this issue. B. Mock Trial/ Moot Court/Alternative Dispute Resolution Participating in Georgetown Law s Mock Trial, Moot Court, or Alternative Dispute Resolution competition is an excellent way to develop real world litigation skills. The Barristers Council oversees the Mock Trial, Moot Court, and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) programs at Georgetown Law. Additional information can be found at 1. Mock Trial Mock trials involve trial advocacy. Competitors are lawyers in hypothetical cases held before judges and juries who score advocates based on their skills. The trials are 17
18 simulated to be as realistic as possible. Participants present evidence, examine witnesses, and give opening and closing statements. The William H. Greenhalgh Mock Trial Competition: The Greenhalgh Competition is held in the spring for all students who will return to Georgetown Law as students the following year. Started in 1991 to give students at Georgetown Law an opportunity to gain trial experience, it is named in honor of the late Director of the Criminal Justice Clinic who distinguished himself as an advocate and teacher. The competition involves opening and closing statements, direct and cross examination, and full trials in the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals. Competitors, who reach the quarter-finals, (typically between 16 and 20 students) are offered positions on Georgetown Law s national mock trial teams. J.D./Government Participation: First-year J.D./Government students may compete in the Greenhalgh Competition. J.D./Government students who are offered a position on Georgetown s national mock trial teams may choose to compete on the team while they are on the Main Campus during their second year. Finally, J.D./Government students could compete in the Greenhalgh Competition during their third year and if selected for a national team, compete nationally during their fourth and final year of the joint degree program. 2. Moot Court Moot court involves appellate advocacy. Competitors write a brief and argue their case before a panel of judges who score them based on their skills. It is similar to the oral advocacy exercise completed in all first-year legal research and writing courses. Robert J. Beaudry Moot Court Competition: This competition is only open to firstyear students, and is generally held from mid-march through mid-april (including spring break). As a closed packet competition, students are provided all materials necessary to submit a brief and argue the case. Competitors are assigned one side in the case-- either respondent or petitioner. Competitors advance to subsequent rounds based on a combination of brief and oral argument scores, and must be prepared to argue both on and off brief (for and against the side for which you wrote your brief). The final round is scored based solely on oral argument. All semi-finalists are guaranteed a spot as an advocate on one of Georgetown Law s moot court teams (which will compete the following academic year). A few of the competitors who advance but are not offered advocate positions will be chosen for alternate or assistant coaching positions. The winner s name is inscribed on the Beaudry Cup, which is on display outside the moot court room (Hart Auditorium Lobby). 18
19 The William E. Leahy Moot Court Competition: The Leahy Moot Court Competition takes place in the fall semester in early October. Leahy is open to all upperclass law students. The competition rules are similar to those of Beaudry. Semi-finalists and competitors who advance far enough will compete on national moot court teams that same academic year. The name of the Leahy Competition winner is inscribed permanently on the Roll of Best Advocates on the wall outside the moot court room (Hart Auditorium Lobby). J.D./Government Participation: As a first-year student, J.D./Government students may compete in the Beaudry Competition. However, if they earn a spot on a team for the following year, they must compete on this team during their year on the Main Campus. J.D./Government students may compete in the Leahy Competition at any point after their first year. 3. Alternative Dispute Resolution Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) involves participating in a mock negotiation, arbitration, mediation or client counseling exercise before a panel of judges who assess team and individual effectiveness. The Everett Bellamy ADR Competition: Held in the spring, this competition is open to all Georgetown Law students. Competitors are asked to negotiate a problem in teams, based on a closed packet. Those who advance to a certain level are invited to join the Barristers Council and represent Georgetown Law in a national or international ADR competition. Finalists argue before well-known ADR practitioners. J.D./Government Participation: First-year J.D./Government students may compete in the Everett Bellamy ADR Competition. J.D./Government students who are offered a position on Georgetown s ADR teams may choose to compete on the team while they are in residence at Main Campus during their second year. Finally, J.D./Government students could compete in the Bellamy Competition during their third year and if selected for a national team, compete nationally during their fourth and final year of the joint program. C. Other Activities J.D./Government students may participate in other Law Center extracurricular activities while they are on the Main Campus. Students should contact student organizations directly to ensure they receive information about events that interest them and with questions about participation. 19
20 Many activities are announced in Georgetown Law s newsletter, What s Happening!, which is available on the website at A. Grading Scales VII. GRADES AND ACADEMIC HONORS Students are graded on a 4-point scale carried to 2 decimal points at Georgetown Law; the Graduate School also operates on a 4-point system. However, a student s academic averages at the two schools are not combined for the purpose of honors. B. Transcripts and Grade Reports Your Law courses will be reflected on your law transcript. Your Government courses will be reflected on a separate transcript. If you are completing coursework in the main campus program during a semester or year, the break in your Law transcript will be recorded as JD/Government Registration. If you are approved to have a specific main campus course count toward your Law program but not your Government program, the main campus course will be recorded on your Law transcript. If you request an official transcript from the Law Center Registrar s Office, you will receive both your Law and main campus transcripts for a $5.00 fee. If you request an official transcript from the University Registrar s Office (main campus), you will receive both your main campus transcript and your Law transcript at no charge. Main campus students are charged a one-time transcript fee which covers the cost of your transcripts. Graduate School grades are typically available earlier than Georgetown Law grades. Grade reports for courses in both programs are available on the web through MyAccess. NOTE: Students should be aware of the need to represent Georgetown Law and Government averages accurately to potential employers. Attempts to combine or equate the two averages can be misleading. Students are encouraged to list both averages on resumes and to indicate which average belongs to which school along with the appropriate grading scales for comparison. C. Dean s List J.D./Government students are eligible for Georgetown Law Dean s List in any year of the program during which at least 16 hours of Georgetown Law course work are completed with an 20
21 academic average that places the student in the top third of his or her section. Dean s List determination is based on a student s annual average for the academic year, not the cumulative average. The academic year consists of, in order, the Summer, Fall, and Spring sessions. D. Graduation Honors Georgetown Law Graduation Honors are based on the student s cumulative grade point average for Georgetown Law courses only. Summa cum laude honors are granted at the discretion of the faculty, and there is no academic average which automatically entitles a student to this honor. To be eligible for consideration for this honor, a graduate must have completed 71 academic credits at the Law Center and have a minimum cumulative grade point average of Magna cum laude honors go to the top 10% of the graduation class and cum laude to the top third of the class. Government grades are not included in computation of averages for Georgetown Law honors.
