LAW 2523 - Externship Seminar, Matrimonial


This specialized externship seminar is a required companion course for students who are working in a field placement in the Matrimonial Law Center of the Nassau County Supreme Court. In the Seminar, students will discuss the work they are doing and the skills they are building in their field placements, as well as the skills necessary to be an effective and ethical matrimonial lawyer, their impressions of the field placement, their field supervisor and other attorneys with whom they interact, and the justice system as a whole, and issues relating to ethics and professionalism in their field placement and in the larger matrimonial law community.  In addition, students will engage in a few exercises designed to enhance their professional lawyering skills and reflective practice. Each student will be required to maintain both objective and subjective journals, and submit a final reflective paper based on their experience in the field placement.  Students will receive a letter grade for the course.
