law firm, organization or government position. Students will deal with realistic practice
scenarios, learning how to perform effective client interviews and counseling in transactional and
litigation situations. The course relies heavily on roleplaying, class discussion and review of
video; as a result enrollment is limited. Students will write periodic journal entries reflecting on
what they have learned through the exercises or addressing assigned topics. There will be no
paper or examination; grading will be based on students’ journals and class participation.
