| "I credit the Honors Lawyering Program with providing a powerful launching pad to my career in intellectual property litigation. The rigorous academic program and apprenticeship with a federal judge prepared me well for my clerkship with the Honorable John D. Love and the duties of an associate at a large law firm." ~ Raymond W. Yu (JD 07), Associate, Paul Hastings LLP |
The Honors Lawyering Program takes a unique approach to legal education, integrating the theory, skills, and values learned in the classroom with actual work in the legal community - a modern version of the traditional apprenticeship.HLP students attend a regular first-year curriculum, participate in an intensive skills-focused summer session, and work at a full-time fall apprenticeship. In the spring, students return to full-time classes with a new appreciation for the application of law to practice. During their third year, students complete a second apprenticeship and have the option to enroll in additional, practice-based courses.Honors courses meet in small sections that integrate lawyering skills training with the substantive law curriculum. By the third week, students begin representing real clients under the guidance and supervision of the professors, who are themselves practicing attorneys. Students may apprentice in private law firms, companies, courts, government agencies, and public interest organizations.
