Law School Syllabi Information

Syllabi for the upcoming semester will be added to this page as they become available.   Syllabi from previous terms can be found on the tabs above.  If you have any questions or problems, please contact Selva Palani

Information about fall classes can be found in the following places:

If you are looking for information about your textbook for the fall, go to either the Hamline bookstore webpage or the Mitchell bookstore webpage. Each bookstore is stocking the course materials for sale in the classes that will be taught this fall.

Syllabi and/or information about first assignments will be made available to all upper-level students on August 5, 2016. The IT departments at Mitchell and Hamline are working together to allow all Mitchell and Hamline students to access course materials in one place: Blackboard.

Once we get all students and faculty from Mitchell and Hamline into the same Blackboard platform and get it synced with both Piperline and Agresso, Blackboard will automatically give you access to the course pages for all the courses in which you are enrolled and it will automatically update your course pages with any actions you take to add or drop courses. You will be receiving a Blackboard log-in on August 5, which will allow you to access your course pages.

If you need information about your course before August 5, feel free to contact your instructor directly.  Instructors who are not employed at Hamline cannot be listed in Piperline. If your instructor is an employee of Mitchell whose name is not listed in Piperline, try the Mitchell courses website.

We appreciate your patience and forbearance as we move into this fall semester as two law schools, working closely together, with an eye toward combining in January, pending ABA acquiescence.
