The Lawyering Program
Lawyering introduces first-year students to the skills and the theory of the law in use through two semesters of simulated exercises in legal problem solving.
Each simulation requires a student to work through the steps of a legal problem - understanding the question, preparing the task, executing the objective, and critiquing the process - and to analyze each of the four conceptual Lawyering dimensions of a problem – goals, facts, rules, and context.
By integrating specific lawyering skills, a problem-solving cycle, and conceptual analysis, Lawyering broadens and deepens the student’s understanding of legal concepts and doctrine, sharpens lawyering skills, and develops the thoughtful inquiry and self-evaluation critical to the theory and practice of law.
