Interstate Compacts
-
Typically offered every other year
Most states are a party to 25 or more compacts, but only a mere handful of attorneys nationwide understand the complexities of handling problems that cross state lines.
Students are expected to choose a compact to study for class discussion, write a seminar paper, and present their paper topic to the class. The professor may choose to supervise a limited number of students who wish to use the paper to satisfy the WIE or capstone writing requirements. The reading materials are excerpts from current interstate compacts, federal and state statutes and regulations, case law, and law review articles. Grading will be based on the seminar paper, presentation, and participation in class discussion.
With professor permission, meets WIE or Capstone writing requirement - Limited number

The American Bar Association accreditation standards require students to regularly attend the courses in which they are registered. Lewis & Clark expects students to attend classes regularly and to prepare for classes conscientiously. Specific attendance requirements may vary from course to course. Any attendance guidelines for a given class must be provided to students in a syllabus or other written document at the start of the semester. Sanctions (e.g., required withdrawal from the course, grade adjustment, and/or a failing grade) will be imposed for poor attendance.
