Fall lineup

Professional Responsibility (3)
The only required upper level law course, Pro Res is all about legal ethics. I got a preview of this class when I studied for the MPRE (Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam) in August.

Juvenile Courts (3)
"The father of juvenile law" in Mass. and the 1st Justice of the Middlesex County Juvenile Court, Judge Jay Blitzman, teaches this class at NUSL. It's perfect for me - it focuses on delinquency, abuse, and neglect.

Family Law Litigation Practicum (3)
Part clinic, part class, we will have fake clients and guide them through a family court divorce. Taught by one of my instructors from the DV Clinic, so I'm really looking forward to it.

 International Health Law (3)
I went back and forth between Int'l Law and IHL. I'm not sure I'll  use either class after law school because I am hoping to work either with kids and/or the criminal justice system. However, I am hoping for an exciting winter co-op so this may tie in :)

Crash the System (2)
One of the attorneys I worked with at Roxbury Defenders this summer is teaching a guest lecture class where he will talk about reform and protests. People on the F/S rotation are lining up to audit this class and NUSL will let them sit in but won't give credit (boo).
