This course advances the student’s knowledge through expanded training and education in legal techniques and procedures. Students learn the in-depth elements of the categories of law including the following: tort, Constitutional, contract, business, real estate, family, wills, trusts, and estates. The students will explore the “black letter law” of each category within the context of the documents and procedures associated with that law and apply it to California court documents, legal briefs, and real-life courtroom and case scenarios. Students focus their knowledge of analysis and research techniques by applying the black letter law to case studies, mediation and negotiation techniques, and client relations. The students will use court-approved forms, documentation, and procedures to accomplish their goals. Professional responsibility, the ethics of practicing law, and the practicality of working in the legal field among legal professionals are also covered extensively.
