1 All students are required to do a “Residency” (a full-time field placement with a judge, public or private legal office, or one of the Law School’s in-house legal clinics) during their second year. The Residency may be done in either the Winter or Spring trimester. The chart shows the Residency during the Winter Term for illustrative purposes.
2 Students are required to satisfy a “沟通s Requirement” in an upper-level term that is not the student’s Residency term. This may be done through courses designated as “沟通s 课程s” at the Law School or through various activities such as moot court or mock trial.
3 12月一项 is approximately a 2-week optional term in which students may take short elective courses, some of which may include a study-abroad component.
4 A “Residency-Accompanying 课程” is a course taken along with a student’s Residency placement. Because a student’s Residency may not be in the local area, the Residency-Accompanying 课程 may be delivered through distance-learning technology.
5 This chart shows the student’s Residency and Residency-Accompanying 课程 occurring in the Winter Term. These could, instead, take place during the Spring Term.
