Why is the Litigation Program necessary to prepare for todays practice of law?
• In the past, lawyers learned trial practice through on-the-job training after completing law school. Today, graduates need to be prepared for the challenges that face them in the courtroom before they step into it. Classes are small, so every student is able to practice litigation skills such as, interviewing clients, negotiating, litigating motions, conducting witness examinations, making objections, delivering opening and closing arguments, and more. Litigation Program students also have opportunities to participate in mock trial and moot court competitions.
