University of Dayton School of Law
The Legal Profession Program, developed in 1988, is a comprehensive two-semester, six credit-hour course sequence devoted to building legal research, analysis and writing skills in the context of the evolving technology used in law practice. The Program’s classes meet in small groups with experienced full-time faculty and stress practical applications of essential lawyering skills. Faculty meet frequently with students for individualized writing and research conferences. Assignments are submitted via an innovative e-filing system developed at the University of Dayton School of Law.
Throughout the Legal Profession course sequence, students are trained in such important skills as accessing and understanding legal authority and effectively communicating legal analysis within the context of the following specific practice areas: advocacy, general/transactional practice; and intellectual property. As a result, our students quickly develop the strong professional skills necessary to be productive and efficient. After the first year, students continue their skills development with upper level writing courses, required externships, intra-sessions, and capstone courses.
The professors in the Program are on long-term contracts of one, three, and five years under a policy designed to satisfy 405(c) requirements. Program faculty have published numerous books and articles, frequently present at LWI and ALWD national and regional conferences, and serve on these organizations’ committees. The Program’s former director, Becky Cochran, served on the ALWD Board of Directors.
