Description:
William & Mary Law School is a full-time, three-year program of study in legal education. Required first-year courses include studies in constitutional law, contracts, torts, civil procedure, property, criminal law, legal skills, and statutory law. Prior to graduation, students must take a second year of legal skills, which includes professional ethics. Through simulated law firms, students in the Legal Skills Program experience and refine many lawyering skills such as interviewing, negotiation, legal briefing, and trial techniques. The Law School provides a wide variety of externships, including: the Legal Aid Clinic, Federal Practice Tax Clinic, Attorney General Practice, and the Virginia Court of Appeals Externships. In addition, second- and third-year students are encouraged to work in a variety of legal settings, such as private firms and public law offices and legal clinics. The curriculum is enriched by the Institute of Bill of Rights Law, a privately funded organization. The Institute's central focus is scholarship and education on freedom of speech and of the press, with interests also in legal history, legal writing, and professional responsibility. The Law School also houses the technologically advanced McGlothlin Courtroom and the Center for Legal and Court Technology.
