The Joint Degree Program Proseminar is in many ways the intellectual and collegial hub of the program. All students enrolled in the Joint Degree Program are required to register for the Proseminar, a one-credit course that meets at 12:15pm each Wednesday during the Fall Semester. Over lunch, Joint Degree Program students and selected other students who came to Law School with graduate training in the sciences meet with Joint Degree affiliated faculty (in Section 001) or their peers (in Sections 002 and 003) to discuss emerging legal and scientific topics. The Proseminar thus serves first to familiarize students in the program with the wide range of interdisciplinary topics that they may wish to pursue in their scholarship and eventual careers. Second, the Proseminar is intended to showcase faculty affiliated with the program in order to acquaint students with the research being carried on by JDP faculty and to assist students in locating potential mentors and advisors. Finally, the seminar is intended to give students in the program a class cohort, as their unique academic schedules will tend to put them out of step with their classmates in their respective degree programs.
