Law, Legal Writing and Advocacy introduces undergraduates to the practical written and oral application of legal principles by giving them basic tasks a lawyer would perform. Students gain a basic knowledge of the legal system and the lawyers' role in it. They are given hypothetical factual situations that involve legal issues. They are asked to analyze the factual situation and to present the legal issues involved from different perspectives: the defense, the plaintiff/prosecutor, the judge, and law enforcement.
