How to sign up for Advanced Legal Research (ALR) Step 1. NOT AVAILABLE FOR SUMMER. Register with the University and pay to take the one credit hour ALR course 9200:618. Do this only once. It is not necessary to register with the University for this course every semester.
Step 2. NOT AVAILABLE FOR SUMMER. Two required modules. There are two required ALR modules. The two required modules are Federal Legislative History, worth 5 module hours, and Federal Administrative Research worth 3 module hours. Students must satisfactorily complete the two required modules during the semester in which they initially register with the University for ALR. Students will have 8 module hours. Both of these modules can be found on Westlaw TWEN.
Step 3. Elective modules - Students must then complete at least 6 additional hours of ALR elective modules prior to their graduation in order to complete the minimum of 14 module hours necessary to earn the one-hour course credit for ALR. Students may sign up for the elective modules the same semester as the required modules or they may wish to wait and take the elective modules another semester. Once a student signs up to take an elective module, they must complete the module the same semester to pass the module.
