To accomplish these goals, much of the teaching in clinical courses is done on a one-on-one basis. Faculty members observe or review all student work and provide detailed critiques. As a result, student demand for clinical courses is high, but enrollments must be kept low. Clinical courses are currently offered in the areas of criminal practice, nonprofit law, juvenile justice, child protection advocacy and special education.
The upper-level curriculum also offers skills training for students in a wide range of simulation courses, including the traditional trial advocacy course.
Also, professional skills courses are offered in the areas of Interviewing, Counseling and Negotiation course, a second and third year priority course so that skills education is available to a greater percentage of the student body. The newest skills courses are Capstone courses. Offered to only third year, second semester students, these courses provide intense doctrine and skills based training and include seasoned attorneys from the community as instructors.
The Small Business Capstone course 5 credits provides hands-on training in transactional practice based on start up and venture capital representation, and includes drafting Term Sheets, LLC Operating Agreements and Shareholder Agreements. The class includes simulation and in-class exercises as well as doctrinal classes. It will provide students with the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary learning and community engagement in the context of live-client legal cases.
The law students will work collaboratively on these legal cases with doctors, social workers and other health professionals. In addition to case work, the course will have a seminar component during which students will learn the doctrine, theory, lawyering skills, and policy relevant to their case work.
The seminar will also provide the students opportunities to lead discussions about case-related issues and solicit feedback from colleagues on those issues. The vehicle for such training and experience is the planning, preparation and presentation of the legal defense in actual cases involving allegations of criminal conduct.
