　　　　探討：法學院的特別進修項目

　　進修司法都有哪些項目可供選取呢?本文為眾人先容了美國一些大學法學院的特別黌舍項目，剖析了這些項目標詳細內容，願望能給眾人的選取供給一些參考。

　　Prospective attorneys searching for the right fit in a law school might be surprised at the rich variation they find when they delve past a school's rank to the details. Here are three examples of the many ways law schools are honing their distinctiveness to offer a special experience along with the legal basics.

　　想要成為狀師的同窗們在搜刮法學院時，必定會當選擇的多樣性覺得受驚吧。下面是美國一些法學院為門生供給的奇特進修項目。

　　1. An intensively experiential third year: As an extern for a federal judge in Washington, D.C., last fall, Krystal Swendsboe, 27, spent 25 to 30 hours a week in chambers, "far more" than students from other schools, she says. That's because her schedule in Washington and Lee University law school's practice-intensive third year is designed around her real-world workday, shifting the focus from "learning in the classroom to learning in the profession," says Dean Nora Demleitner.

　　So 3Ls spend most of their year in externships and in clinics built into the curriculum, where work ranges from preparing appeals for coal miners seeking benefits from the federal black lung program to assisting defense counsel in death penalty cases. The pace can be grueling, says Demleitner; faculty at the Lexington, Virginia, school tend to treat students like junior partners, calling at all hours if a client is in need.

　　1. 在第三學年舉行深刻練習

　　27歲的司法系研討生Krystal Swendsboe每周都要在美國議會練習25-30小時，時光比黌舍其他系的學士長多了，由於她地點大學Washington and Lee University法學院第三學年的重點是從理論進修轉向實踐進修。練習生的事情可有為曠工爭奪好處、為極刑辯解等情勢。

　　進程多是艱難的，好比維吉尼亞大學每每把門生當做低級合股人，24小時隨叫隨到。

　　2. A shorter, skills-oriented option: Students in the new accelerated J.D. program at Gonzaga University's law school pack 90 credits into two calendar years, the same number required in the school's three-year track. Both reflect a curriculum revamp in 2009 responding to feedback from employers that new hires needed better skills.

　　Along with torts, criminal law and other traditional first-year classes, 1Ls take skills labs in which they draft complaints and contracts, engage in discovery, and conduct client interviews. All students at the Spokane, Washington, school also must take four terms, out of six, of legal research and writing, plus at least 12 credits of experiential learning. Those are earned by doing an externship or by choosing among the eight in-house legal clinics dedicated to such specialties as elder law, Indian law andenvironmental law.

　　2. 以造就技巧為導向的更短的進修項目

　　龔薩格大學法學院把某些碩士生的進修從三年收縮到兩年，門生在第一年除進修民事法和其他傳統司法外，還會錘煉一些草擬條約之類的技巧。斯波坎和華盛頓法學院的門生都必需在6門課程當選修4門，還必需得到有關實踐進修的12個學分。

　　3. A global perspective: Interested in practicing in the international arena – or at least gaining a global perspective? Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York, has an array of options for students wanting to add international credentials to their degree. The joint J.D.-Master of Laws, or LLM degree, in international and comparative law is the most rigorous, cramming 20 extra credits into the standard curriculum. An international legal studies specialization, by contrast, requires five extra credits.

　　Exposure to international law is critical these days even for lawyers who never leave the country, argues Laura Spitz, associate dean for international affairs. "We don't live in a world that's packaged domestically and internationally," she says. "That line is increasingly blurred."

　　3. 環球化進修項目

　　康奈爾大學供給環球化的司法進修項目。比起法學院其他項目，這類環球化視角的進修籌劃要多獲得5個學分能力拿到學位。

　　努力對國際司法的熟習對狀師來講變得很主要，縱然他永久只待在本身的國度。這是由於現今天下日益環球化，國度之間的界限也再也不那末顯著。
