REGISTRATION PROCEDURES 1. Law students will be registering for the spring semester via the University CheckMarq registration

system on Wednesday, November 19th through Friday, November 21st. The information contained in this packet will explain the process as it relates to the Law School.

2. In the packet of materials you should find:

A schedule of classes for the spring semester. Please note that room assignments will be made after registration

A tentative exam schedule for the spring semester The 2014-2015 academic calendar A list of course prerequisites A list of courses required for graduation Information on the spring semester courses that will satisfy the post 1L perspectives, public

law, and process elective requirements Information on all courses that will be offered during the Spring Semester (descriptions of both

elective and required courses are included) A tentative list of classes for 2015-2016.

3. You may access your registration appointment time through the CheckMarq portal. If you are

having trouble accessing CheckMarq, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 414-288-7799. Instructions for using CheckMarq are available through the CheckMarq portal.

4. Please note: students who entered prior to the fall of 2014 (and transfer and visiting

students who entered in fall 2014) must register via CheckMarq between Wednesday, November 19th and Friday, November 21st. You may register any time after your appointment time.

5. First-year students who began in the fall of 2014 do not need to register. The law school

will handle this for you. You may view your schedule on CheckMarq the week of December 1st. First year sections are assigned and cannot be changed.

6. Enrollment limits for courses are as follows:

Perspectives courses 50 The Law Governing Lawyers 45 Green Bay RJ Initiative 10 Media Law 30 Peacemaking & Spirituality 24 Sports as a Social Institution 30 Starting & Managing a Law Practice 30 All other general enrollment courses 70 Seminars 15 Workshop – Business Planning 30 Workshop – Negotiation 48 All other workshops 16 Advanced Legal Research courses 20

CheckMarq will automatically close a course once the enrollment limit is reached. Third-year students (those with 54 or more credits) have earlier registration times than those with 53 or fewer credits.

7. Students who are interested in taking limited enrollment courses such as seminars, workshops, and advanced legal research courses should register as soon after their appointment time as possible. The longer you wait, the greater the likelihood that a specific course may be closed.

8. Students who are closed out of courses may complete the waiting list form available on the

website and in Room 238 and submit it to Dean Thomson, either electronically or in Room 238. The deadline for submission is noon on Monday, November 24th. Deans Parlow and Thomson will develop waiting lists based on the number of credits a student has earned to date. Waiting lists will be posted on the Law School website and students will be notified via their Marquette e-mail if a space becomes available. Do not attempt to use the waiting list function in CheckMarq.

9. Also note Section 700 of the Law School Academic Regulations concerning dropping and adding

courses. 10. If you plan to take Directed Research or Graduate Assistant during the spring semester, please

complete the appropriate form (available on the website http://law.marquette.edu or in the filing cabinet in Room 238) and send it to Dean Thomson.

During the past two decades, the field of conflict resolution and mediation has grown extensively in multiple settings throughout North America, Europe, and other parts of the world. Whereas conflict resolution theory and practice focuses upon a problem solving model to address the presenting dispute, peacemaking addresses conflict at a much deeper level. Peacemaking is based on a humanistic and transformative theory of conflict that draws heavily upon core values of empowerment, mutual recognition, collaboration, dialogue, and healing, as well as the ancient wisdom and practices of many diverse indigenous cultures throughout the world (including Native American and Celtic traditions). Within


the context of these traditions, true peacemaking is inseparable from spirituality, from honoring the sacred and recognizing our interconnectedness. For the purposes of this course, spirituality is not synonymous with the dogma and creeds of the major religious traditions in the world, even though religion for many may serve as a pathway to spirituality. Practices within the major religions of the world that foster peacemaking, however, will be explored, along with the practices from a number of different cultures. This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of the core principles and practices of peacemaking and spirituality in the context of multiple interpersonal, community, national, and international settings.
