The Consumer Protection Practicum introduces students to the practice of consumer protection law through applied work involving consumer-facing contracts, business practices, and regulatory frameworks. The course is taught by a practicing attorney with experience in consumer protection matters in both government and private-sector settings.
Students will draft and review transactional documents and conduct legal research using methods and approaches that reflect current professional practice in the field. The course emphasizes practical skills and strategies used by lawyers addressing deceptive practices, unfair business conduct, and related consumer protection issues.
LAW-3410 Business Practicum Seminar is a required co-requisite for students enrolled in a Business Law Practicum and provides foundational training in transactional lawyering skills such as contract drafting and review, risk identification, professional collaboration, and client communication. Students must take the seminar when enrolling in their first Business Law Practicum, but it only needs to be completed once; students who have already taken the seminar may enroll in additional practicums without repeating it.
