12/28/2006 | 7123 - Human Rights & Genocide Clinic | | 4.0 | 5 | 5 | 1 | 5 | Yes | Professor Rosenberg was extremely approachable and helpful when getting practical experience during the clinic experience. While she gives excellent guidance, she does not spoon feed what you need to do so that you can gain experience along the way.
I will assume that the difficulty of the clinic will largely be based upon the project that you are assigned. The case work was incredibly interesting but required a tremendous amount of reading. Because the clinic deals with international human rights issues, the research requires more work than just using westlaw or lexis.
Having been a 2L at the time I did the clinic may have made the writing portion take longer as my legal writing skills were minimal at the time. I now feel more prepared for legal writing but the cost was having spent countless hours in writing and editing of the clinic project. Despite the amount of time required, I highly recommend the clinic and Professor Rosenberg. | |
