How many courses can I study?
You must enrol in a minimum of 30CP to comply with student visa requirements. If you hold a student visa, you can only study online for one third of your total program. This means that if you are enrolled in 30 credit points (cp), you can only complete one 10cp course via online study.
Please note: A 50CP enrolment is a high volume workload and should be carefully considered prior to selecting this option.

The bouts took place Tuesday as part of the UFC on FUEL TV 3 main card at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va.
They include featherweight headliners Chan Sung Jung’s submission win over Dustin Poirier, as well as Donald Cerrone’s hard-fought win over fellow lightweight Jeremy Stephens.
Jung earned a fourth-round victory in the action-packed fight, which saw the “Korean Zombie” pressure Poirier both striking and while on the mat. Jung, who earned “Fight of the Night” and “Submission of the Night” honors with the victory, also has been promised a title shot against the winner of UFC 149’s championship headliner between titleholder Jose Aldo and Erik Koch.
Earlier in the night, Cerrone and Stephens lived up to the pre-fight expectations and put on a barn-burner. Unfortunately for Stephens, who absorbed a swarm of punishment in the fight, most of the offense came from Cerrone, who put together smooth combinations while taking advantage of his longer reach. Cerrone now has won seven of eight fights, and he hopes to land on Denver’s UFC 150 card opposite fellow contender Anthony Pettis.

After years of litigation and contentious back-and-forth negotiations, you’ve finally resolved your client’s case. Everyone is happy, hugs all around, and there may even be some tears of joy. 
Once the case has resolved, the hard work is over and all that remains is to sign a few papers, deposit the checks, and distribute the money, right? While it is true that a lump-sum settlement or judgment is generally straightforward, you may have to deal with some thorny issues relating to liens and allocations among multiple plaintiffs, but for the most part, the process for distributing a lump-sum amount from a settlement or judgment is uncomplicated.
Structured settlements, however, can be complex and give rise to several pitfalls if not handled correctly. In many cases it is important to document your file that you have presented the structure option to your client. Some courts have made their preference for structured settlements clear. It is necessary to preserve the option to incorporate a structured settlement during the final settlement negotiations. If you fail to do so, not only can you find yourself frustrated trying to remedy it, but not handling a structured settlement properly can open you up to malpractice claims for failure to effectuate a structured settlement.
A structured or periodic payment settlement can be simply defined as “any series of payments made other than a single lump sum amount.” It is a financial package designed for the plaintiff, or plaintiff’s attorney, and is agreed to be paid by the defendant, the insurer or a Qualified Settlement Fund (QSF). It is limited only by the ingenuity of those involved. In its most fundamental form, a defendant, insurer or QSF agrees to make future periodic payments to the plaintiff or plaintiff attorney by purchasing an annuity from a life insurance company.
Over the last year some insurers and defense counsel have made it more difficult to effectuate a structured settlement. It is not clear to the authors as to what is prompting this trend, but one thing is clear – some carriers and defense counsel will fight efforts to structure unless the documentation reserving the right to structure is clear at the time that the amount of the settlement is finally agreed upon. If it is not clear at the time a settlement is reached that the defendant agrees to future periodic payments through a structured settlement, then defendants are on solid ground in denying plaintiff or plaintiff’s attorney the option of structuring the settlement.
In a recent case we included brief language in the mediator’s settlement memoranda preserving the option to structure all or part of the settlement. The defendant signed the Uniform Qualified Assignment but flatly refused to include the periodic payment and assignment language in the Settlement and Release Agreement. The insurer issuing the structured settlement annuity policy insisted that the Settlement and Release Agreement also include the required language. The lead defense attorney is a highly intelligent and sophisticated attorney who is the head of civil litigation in one of California’s largest cities; however, she simply refused to include the assignment language in the release. No logical reason was given. After some great work by our mediator (and a threat of seeking judicial enforcement – a risk we did not want to run), the defense finally agreed to sign an Addendum to the Release that included the necessary language.
You do not want to be that attorney who successfully negotiated a settlement at the mediation session and then missed the details necessary to preserve the structured-settlement option. In a recent case, the defendant brought a form release that did not contain any structured-settlement language, and which was unfortunately signed at a mediation session. The plaintiff’s attorney didn’t know that signing the release at the mediation was a problem. When the plaintiff’s attorney attempted to obtain a new release with structured-settlement language, the insurance carrier, who often settles cases which include structured settlements, refused to change the settlement and include a structure. In support of their position, the defense attorney made derogatory comments about the plaintiff and claimed that the plaintiff was lucky to obtain the settlement that was agreed to. The defense attorney refused to talk to his carrier further.
In a case involving an insurer, who typically agrees to work with structured-settlement annuities, the insurer refused to implement a structured settlement. This was a tragic wrongful-death case involving a defendant who had been driving drunk. There were two mediation sessions. The defense attorney and carrier knew that the plaintiff’s attorney had brought their structured-settlement planner and the defense knew that the family wanted to have future periodic payments. No objection to a structured settlement was ever raised by the defense attorneys or the defendant’s carrier. The second mediation session ended with a demand of $6,000,000.00 and a $4,000,000.00 offer. Three days later, the parties agreed to settle for $5,000,000.00. Although the parties had agreed to a settlement amount, the plaintiff’s attorney did not include a structure as a condition of settlement.
After the plaintiff’s attorney and plaintiff’s settlement planner did the necessary work to put the structured-settlement
