About the course

The first-year curriculum teaches students areas of legal doctrine traditionally taught in the first year, but in a unique way that focuses on methods of legal analysis and skills that all lawyers use.

　　In the first year, as part of their Lawyering Skills course, students conduct intake interviews with clients at local legal service organizations and government agencies. The first-year Legal Profession course teaches students what it is like to practice law in a variety of settings, including large law firms, small law firms and government offices. The course also teaches students about the sociology, psychology, and economics of being a lawyer, while teaching legal ethics from the very beginning.

　　In addition, during their second semester, first year students will have the option to choose between multiple electives that will provide them with additional instruction in a variety of legal disciplines normally offered only to second and third year law students. These electives may include courses in:

　　Administrative Law/Legislation

　　Business Associations
