Bar Course Selection Tips - Foundation Courses

Some courses, although not required, are important foundation courses for most lawyers and should be seriously considered as part of any curriculum.  Many of these courses are transubstantive courses, meaning that they are more about how law or litigation works than about a single area of substantive law.  These courses include:

 

Administrative Law

Remedies

Conflict of Laws

Mediation / Dispute Resolution Processes

 

There are also some courses that provide basic knowledge in subjects that are relevant to almost any practice, and about which many outsiders expect all lawyers to know.  Those courses include:

 

Criminal Procedure --Investigation, Arrest and the Right to Counsel

Commercial Law Survey

Estates and Trusts

Family Law -- Marriage and Divorce
