This course will provide an overview of social institutions and functions addressed in the practice of law. Students will participate in each of the lawyer’s roles: investigation, research, advocacy, trial preparation, and dispute resolution. In the process, students will examine the nature and history of law, interrogate parties, argue hypothetical cases, and draft legal pleadings and documents. This class requires active participation in lively classroom activities and projects, which include simulated trials, oral argument, and case briefing. Students are encouraged to participate freely in robust classroom discussions and debates, with a premium placed on the open exchange of ideas and opinions. The course will culminate in a mock trial, conducted in a courtroom setting before a presiding judge.
Grade Requirement: For students completing Grade 8 and up.
Self-study and homework required:
2-5 hours per class meeting
