The School of Law provides its students with ample opportunity to obtain and develop litigation skills.
To the end, students must successfully complete at least two credits in a course or credit activity in which the student assumes the role of a client representative. This requirement may be fulfilled by:
- Participation in a clinic

-
Completing any of the followingcourses:
- Advanced Trial Advocacy
- Appellate Advocacy Workshop
- Bench Trial Advocacy
- Family Law Workshop
