从实践经验中学习

At LMU Law, our focus on producing practice-ready graduates means that we prioritize opportunities for students to get hands-on lawyering experiences both in and outside of the classroom. LMU法学院体验式学习的特点是我们强大的实习计划, which allows students to obtain course credit for doing field work in their second and/or third year.  实地实习包括各种法院的审判分庭, 检察官和公设辩护人的办公室, 法律服务机构, 以及各种规模和执业领域的私人律师事务所, 目的是根据学生的兴趣和职业抱负为他们匹配网站.

In addition, our full-time and adjunct faculty members come to the classroom with extensive practice experience, 他们用它来教授许多模拟律师经验的课程, 比如庭审辩护, Mediation, 面试与咨询, 田纳西州法院惯例, 及国内关系草拟.  Each year, many students also compete in intramural and intermural mock trial and moot court competitions.

什么是实习?

实习也被称为实地实习，它们很像实习. 实习和法学院实习的主要区别是:

  2. 为了拿到实习学分, you will be enrolled in a course at the law school that will have some class meetings and assignments outside of your field placement work.
  3. Your externship professor works with you and your externship supervisor to make sure you are getting a good learning experience out of the externship.

Each semester, the Director of 从实践经验中学习 works with students interested in doing an externship to either find a site placement that matches a student’s interests, skills, and abilities, 或者批准学生申请的新地点安置.
