Results from this cycle will be published on August 18 at 1:30 pm EST.
Constitutional Law, Property, and Professional Responsibility:
If you did not win a spring section of Constitutional Law, Property, and/or Professional Responsibility during JD Ranked Bidding or LLM Ranked Bidding—and you wish to take those courses in the spring semester—you will need to bid for them during the Spring 2026 Bidding Cycle.
Experiential Learning Classes:
During the Spring 2026 Bidding Cycle ONLY, there will be a large number of seats in spring simulation classes (which satisfy the JD Experiential Learning requirement) for graduating students to bid on. There will be a small number of seats in these classes for 2Ls to bid on. Beginning in Spring 2026 Daily Cycles #1 and future cycles, 2Ls will be eligible to bid on all available seats in Experiential Learning classes.
