Because the summer session is condensed, students should not plan on working another job during the summer semester. As a general guideline, students are expected to work 20 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters and 30 hours per week during the summer semester. During the fall and spring semesters, students must have blocks of time available to be in the courtroom. During the summer students should be available all day, every day. On Tuesday evening, students participate in a mandatory seminar, with instruction in courtroom advocacy, interviewing and counseling skills, substantive law and court procedure.
Evidence is a prerequisite.
Trial Advocacy is not a prerequisite, but if you have been through this course, the skills are beneficial to students cases. One week prior to the start of the fall and spring semesters, Professor Lowrance provides a mandatory one week training session. No Please let us know.
