As in the Lawyering course, a simulated case problem is used throughout the year. Students interview a client and develop the case through all phases of pre-trial litigation and preparation for trial.
Students participate in the actual trial of the case at the end of spring semester.
In addition to these two courses, students can choose from a wide variety of classroom and advanced simulation courses which focus on specific skills such as Negotiating for Lawyers , Alternative Dispute Resolution , Drafting , Advanced Legal Research , Evidence , Advanced Evidence , Professional Responsibility , Labor Arbitration , Government Ethics , Trial Advocacy , and Trial Tactics . Many traditional courses include simulated exercises aimed at reinforcing the substantive law.
