Our moot court teams regularly take national honors in competitions that range from family law to worker's compensation. Practicum experiences in government and non-profit agencies further expand your understanding of the legal community. We devote the sixth semester to developing advanced skills to make sure Mercer graduates have the lawyering skills to make real contributions as soon as they pass the bar. In addition to the required Beyond Law School, you will produce an additional substantial written product in the seminar of your choice, and dive deeper into a favorite area such as Labor Arbitration, Alternative Dispute Resolution, or Tax Research in an advanced skills course during sixth semester. In addition to your required ethics course you'll find tough questions of professional responsibility integrated into every law course.
Good lawyers learn from each other and know when to call for help.
Mercer's class sizes are among the smallest in the nation, which encourages true discussion even in first-year courses. Professors and staff members set examples of community involvement.
