Satisfies Experiential Learning requirement.
The part-time UCDC Law Program has two main components: the part-time field placement (3-5 credits) and the 1-credit companion seminar.
The seminar is designed to enhance students' externship experiences in three principal ways. First, students will learn about the process of federal lawmaking directly from leading government lawyers, lobbyists, and public interest advocates. Second, they will explore new career opportunities unique to lawyering in Washington, even as they enhance their skill sets for success in any career path. Third, they will investigate the unique roles lawyers play in making and changing federal law and policy. Class sessions include frequent guest speakers and class discussion based on students' questions.
