LAW-3510: Independent Residency

The Semester in Practice Program provides students an opportunity to spend a semester doing legal work, for 30-40 hours a week, while fully immersed in a law office, government agency, legal department, or other law-related setting. In the field work component of the program, students pursue self-designed learning goals at an approved site under the supervision of onsite attorney mentors. In an accompanying academic component, working in collaboration with a Mitchell Hamline faculty member, students reflect on their field work experiences and relate them to larger legal, policy, and practice issues.
