Problem Solving I: The Lawyer and Client

Catalog description

In Problem Solving I, students work through a series of problems to practice skills that lawyers use to begin and maintain relationships with clients. The clients may be individuals, corporations or government. Working with practicing lawyers and law school faculty, students interview a client to determine the facts of the case and to understand the client's goals. Students work collaboratively to discover the relevant law, to assess the client's options and to communicate the legal strategy to the client. Students also observe an actual legal proceeding.
