Description
Satisfies Experiential Learning requirement. Fieldwork units count against the 20-unit cap for "non-classroom" work.
Open to 5th and 6th semester students selected for enrollment during their 2L year.
This course includes carefully supervised practice experience in the specific law office for which the student was selected. Students will work an average minimum of 24-32 hours per week, depending on number of academic units. Fellows will be immersed in the work of their placement offices, perform a variety of lawyering tasks, and will be afforded both training and observation opportunities. Because LfA is more immersive than other field placements, fellows are expected to take reduced winter and spring breaks.
