Institution:

University of Dayton

Subject:

Law

Description:

The four credit Tort Litigation Capstone course provides students with the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills they have learned throughout their first two years of law school in a realistic law firm setting. Students will process a simulated tort case from initial client interview through pleadings, discovery, mediation and culminating in a full trial. Clients and lay witnesses will be played by professional actors, and experts will be played by actual experts. The goal of the course is to duplicate, as much as possible, what a lawyer may face as a new associate in a law firm. There will be numerous writing assignments which will fulfill the School of Law¿s upper-level writing requirement. Credit Type A.
