Students are encouraged to complement the course by enrolling in Lawyering Process I: Interviewing and Counseling or Lawyering Process II: Negotiation in Fall or Spring, since the theoretical/practice-based content of each will enrich the skills training derived from working with actual clients. Lawyering Process III is also available in the Fall and Spring.
Description
Students will be able to gain live client experience in performing an ensemble of essential lawyering skills, including: interviewing, counseling, negotiation, document/pleading drafting, and representation before the Court of Common Pleas. Modeling, training and supervision will be provided by experienced staff attorneys at the field-based setting in Washington and the Professor in a one-hour weekly group review meeting at the law school/online through Lync. Family law – Protection from Abuse, custody, divorce, child dependency – will be the principal area of practice, with students provided preparatory substantive instruction/materials by staff attorneys and Professor. Family Law is not a required prerequisite. Scheduling of clinical hours will be adjusted to accommodate each student’s other work commitments. Transportation costs associated with travel to/from the office will be reimbursed.
