Health Law Practicum Placements
The Practicum Program is an academic program that allows students to learn law and lawyering skills in an actual legal setting under the direction of an individual mentor-attorney. Students are expected to work diligently and professionally in this program. The practice of law requires the development and exercise of good personal and professional judgment, and students must be conscious of how their decisions and performance fulfill the direction of the mentor and serve the needs of the client.
