Our Legal Clinics train law students to be skilled, ethical, and reform-minded professionals. In addition to learning lawyering skills such as interviewing, counseling, negotiating, writing, and appellate and trial advocacy, students are urged to scrutinize the quality of justice. Work done by our Legal Clinics’ students, faculty, and staff often contributes to reform initiatives arising from representation of individuals and groups. The Lawyering Skills Program provides a number of simulation courses that enable students to develop lawyering skills in a carefully supervised, hands-on classroom setting. Oral communication skills, negotiations, writing for practice, and client counseling are some of the courses offered through the program. The cornerstone of the Lawyering Skills Program is the Lawyering Skills Course, a hands-on optional third-year course that integrates what students have learned throughout law school to the core skills needed for effective law practice. The course emphasizes the skills students will need in the early years of practice. |
On December 10, Gavar State University (GSU) celebrated the fifth anniversary of its legal clinic, established with the support of the ABA Rule of Law Initiative (ABA ROLI) and the U.S. Agency for International Development.
