Abstract

This article describes Albany Law School’s first year interdisciplinary "Introduction to Lawyering" course and offers a prototype for other law schools to introduce students to essential skills and values of the profession from the first day of law school. The course, which debuted in 1991, engages first year students in problem solving and client-centered decision-making, along with traditional legal research, writing, and analysis skill in context. Students are placed into "firms" representing parties in a year-long simulated legal dispute. They participate in client interviewing, fact investigation, discovery, alternative dispute resolution, oral advocacy, research, writing, analysis, and drafting in the course of representing a "client". At the same time, students are introduced to the legal system, ethics and values of the profession in context as they begin to form their professional identities.

律师入门:教一年级学生像专业人士一样思考
本文描述了奥尔巴尼法学院第一年跨学科的“律师入门”课程,并为其他法学院提供了一个原型,从法学院的第一天开始就向学生介绍该专业的基本技能和价值观。该课程于1991年开课,旨在培养一年级学生解决问题和以客户为中心的决策能力,以及传统的法律研究、写作和分析技能。学生们被安排在“公司”中,代表当事人进行为期一年的模拟法律纠纷。在代表“客户”的过程中,他们参与客户访谈、事实调查、发现、替代性争议解决、口头辩护、研究、写作、分析和起草。与此同时,在学生开始形成自己的职业身份的过程中,他们会被介绍到法律制度、职业道德和职业价值观。
