COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

Interviewing, Counseling and Negotiation
Prof. Dwight Golann
4 credits day; 4 credits evening.

This course teaches core skills which lawyers must employ in practice. Students examine the lawyer?client relationship in the context of realistic practice scenarios, learning how to perform effective client interviewing and counseling through roleplays. They also learn to negotiate on behalf of clients, in both transactional and litigation situations. The course relies heavily on roleplaying, class discussion and review of video; as a result, enrollment is limited. Students write short journal entries periodically in which they are asked to reflect on what they have learned through exercises. There is no paper or examination; grading is based on students’ journals and class participation. May not also enroll in Interviewing and Counseling.
