Nova Southeastern University Law Center, Advanced Lawyering Skills and Values


Students in the litigation track will represent a mock client from the initial client interview and filing of the complaint, through discovery and motion calendar. Litigation students may also represent additional mock clients in a bench trial and all phases of an appeal. Students in the transactional track will develop skills in complex counseling, multi-party negotiation, conciliation, and document drafting. Depending upon personal interests, Transactional track students may select from a variety of skills courses related to diverse transactional practice areas. LSV I and II are prerequisites for all tracks and Evidence is a prerequisite or co-requisite course for the litigation track.

Students may also select the General Practice track, which accommodates students who are interested in developing both litigation and transactional skills. This track option may also be suitable for students who plan to work in smaller firms, where a lawyer's work often requires diverse, cross-discipline practice skills. The flexibility of the General Practice track is also a convenient choice for students who must complete prerequisites for clinics and other advanced level course offerings. Read More
