In your Lawyering Skills Class, first-year students master critical research and writing skills, receiving intensive, hands-on instruction from experienced faculty in small classes of no more than twenty students. Because of the small class size, you\u2019ll receive substantial feedback and individual attention from your instructor. You\u2019ll learn first-hand how to analyze complex legal questions at a professional level, while developing a variety of professional skills to help make you practice-ready. In the first semester, you will concentrate on legal research, client counseling, and objective memos, while in the second semester, you will focus on persuasive writing, oral advocacy, and transactional skills. Lawyering Fellows<\/a> are also available to help you with your Lawyering assignments and exercises.<\/p>\n
