In such programs, students can learn not only from discussing and analyzing theories of practice, but also by working with lawyer role models and by supervised involvement in actual cases. The Law School provides a variety of clinical opportunities for its students. A student may offer up to 12 hours of clinical work toward the J.D. degree. The distinctive feature common to all seminars is the small number of students ordinarily enrolled. Most seminars require substantial student writing.
All seminars reflect the personal academic interests of faculty members.
The list of seminars offered each year is highly fluid, as faculty members are free to present topics reflecting their current research interests. About 20 seminars are offered in both the fall and winter terms. A list follows of recently offered seminars.
