The American Bar Association requires 700 minutes of instruction for each unit of coursework. As a result, students may only enroll in courses with overlapping class times if the 700 minutes per unit rule is satisfied for each of the classes. As a practical matter, even very small overlaps end up being impermissible. If a student can demonstrate compliance with the ABA requirement and the instructors both consent, the overlap will be permitted. The Overlapping Course Petition, signed by the instructors involved, must be completed and submitted to the Records Office.
