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.
Each practicum includes a classroom component worth one credit
hour plus a minimum of 114 hours of field work in the practicum area.
Students are supervised by a faculty member and the classroom component
is taught by an adjunct professor experienced in the practicum area.
