W74 LAW 667AInternational Justice and Conflict Resolution Externship (Tokarz)Var. Units (max = 12.0)
Description:Enrollment limited. This course provides students opportunities to learn international criminal and civil law practice, conflict resolution, legal advocacy, and professional responsibility while externing with international judges; lawyers practicing before international courts and tribunals; and lawyers in government offices, NGO's, legal services providers, or international arbitration and conflict resolution offices such as the UN. Students engage in extensive legal research and fact investigation; draft legal memoranda relevant to cases under submission by the courts and policy reports for government offices; interview clients, witnesses, and relevant constituencies; and participate in negotiations, mediations, hearings, trials, and other proceedings. The course enhances students learning in international and comparative criminal and civil law and practice, conflict resolution theory and practice, client representation and advocacy, and professional responsibility. Students must apply and secure their placements before being accepted. Prior to the beginning of each externship, the supervising faculty member, student, and externship supervisor will negotiate an agreement (learning contract) as to the specific nature of the tasks the student will perform in her/his placement, the number of weeks, and the number of hours to be worked each week. In addition to the individualized learning agreements, the course includes required reading specifically geared to the work of the placement; a required pre-trip orientation; reflective journals submitted weekly by students that are reviewed by the faculty supervisor, who provides feedback to the students; regular contact between the faculty member and field supervisors during the semester; and a ten page paper at the conclusion of the course, in which the student addresses an issue of law, policy, or practice relevant to the placement, in light of the reading material and the student's experiences. Placement offices include international organizations, government offices, and NGO's to which students have applied and been accepted, or placements which our students or faculty have worked before or with supervisors with whom the instructors have professional contacts. Depending on the placement, preference will be given to students who have taken relevant courses (or comparable experience), eg, International Criminal Law, War Crimes Seminar, International Human Rights Law, International Law, and Negotiation and Dispute Resolution courses. [Note: Students are prohibited from taking more than one clinic/externship/supervised practicum in the same semester. Students who are not in good standing (for either academic or disciplinary reasons) the semester prior to taking this course and the semester of this course, are not eligible to participate in this course. The clinics/externships have a different drop deadline than other Law School courses. A student will not be allowed to drop any law clinic or externship without good cause and the instructor's permission.] 8 units remote; 12 units on-site.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
