LAW 6862

Supervised Experiential Learning

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025. Courses of Study 2024-2025 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

Supervised experiential learning courses allow students to complete a discrete pro bono advocacy project under faculty supervision. The course operates much like a directed reading or supervised writing – students must make arrangements directly with a faculty member. Only full-time, long-term members of the faculty may teach this course. The student's role must involve a substantial lawyering experience that implicates one or more of the Law School's learning outcomes. Work for the course should consist of the types of matters that are currently handled by the clinical program. If a student wishes to seek pro bono hours certification for their work in the course, the student and faculty member should ensure the work satisfies the relevant standard.

When Offered Fall, Spring.

Comments Like the clinics and practicum courses, this course will not satisfy any writing requirement and will count toward the 31-credit limit on clinical courses, field placement programs and externships. This course will also count toward the 20-credit 29 limit on "non-regularly scheduled" courses.
