New Academic Calendar Announced

Well, folks, it seems that Boalt got a little change we can believe in with the new OCI schedule combined with a new class schedule.

Somehow, we kept the 14 weeks of classes, but lost the week of Fall Break. Classes will start August 24th, which is later than normal and the semester ends December 16th, which is about the same. I can't remember how many reading days we have now, but we have 3 in this new calendar.

The Spring semester looks about the same and is too boring to really consider at this point.

Oh, and your future nebulous concerns will be address, from M*ndi's email (really an email forwarded by M*ndi and written by Prof. R*bert M*rg*s, co-Chair, Faculty Curriculum Committee, but I know who y'all want to hear from):

At the Dean's direction, the Berkeley Law staff is working hard to implement this change. Some areas of crucial concern have already been addressed; others will be dealt with as they arise. The BHSA will continue to be included in these conversations as we move forward. You will receive more information about the schedule change and its implications in the coming months.

I assume people will complain about this because it's law school. So, have at it.
