The Journal is cosponsored by the School of Law and the National Council on Law and Religion. It is published primarily by faculty members assisted by students. Practicum Program Hamline's practicum program gives students a chance to study a particular area of legal practice and gain valuable experience.
Students attend a class taught by a specially recruited expert in the particular practicum area.
They then serve as interns in law offices, corporations and businesses, public agencies, and courtrooms in focused disciplinary areas, such as children and the law criminal law, corporate practice, administrative law, and public interest practice. Guided by a seasoned federal, appellate, or state judge, or interning with an attorney, students have the opportunity to make the connection between the study and practice of law and to network with lawyers in their area of interest. To complete their skills education, students may choose to represent clients in one of Hamline's eight clinics, under Minnesota's student-practice rule. Supervised by clinical instructors, students handle their own caseload. These experiences help students hone their lawyering skills, including interviewing, counseling, research and analysis, mediation, trial development, and case management.
