Students gain practical experience through placement with a legal
organization in Kamloops, BC or elsewhere. Students work under the guidance of a supervising lawyer to acquire skills relating to the practice of law and
running a legal office/organization, including but not limited to, file
and practice management, legal drafting, professional written
communication, interviewing, negotiation, and advocacy. Students
will also acquire skills generalized to working as a legal professional,
such as navigating the rules of professional conduct, identifying and
working through ethical issues, and managing client and/or
stakeholder relationships. The placement is coupled with a regular
group session, to allow students to reflect on their experiences and
engage in discussion around professional development, professional
identity formation, and legal practice
