California Law Schools Adopt Medical-Style Training to Enhance Practical Legal Education



A medical-school style model of legal education is expanding to a second California law school, giving law students the option of a year of hands-on training experience. This model not only provides a head start for post-graduation employment but also delivers much-needed support for nonprofits and government agencies. The approach incorporates elements of medical education, such as practical, in-field training, into legal education to better equip future lawyers with real-world experience before they even enter the workforce. More details on this development are available in the Law360 article on the subject here.
