Course Description
Clinical course in which students will work under the supervision of prosecutors in preparation and trial of pending misdeameanor cases, drafting of warrants, motions, orders, memoranda, and other legal documents. Students will also appear in court on behalf of prosecution.
Additional Requirements for Graduate Students:
Graduate law students will not be doing any extra work beyond
that required of the Juris Doctor students. J.D. students are
post-baccalaureate students and the workload expected of them
is the same workload expected of post-baccalaureate graduate
students. Law students are professional students, not
undergraduate students. Graduate law students are primarily
international lawyers seeking expertise in the American legal
system. This expertise is gained through exposure to Juris
Doctor courses.
