Simulations
In our simulation courses, students step into the role of the lawyer in rich, hypothetical scenarios.
Simulation courses give students first-hand experience in lawyering skills before they need to rely on them in practice. All simulation courses emphasize practice, performance, faculty feedback, and self-reflection, and have low student: faculty ratios.
Georgetown’s simulation curriculum covers a wide range of skills, including: negotiation, mediation, trial skills, interviewing, client counseling, applied legal writing, international arbitration, problem solving, teambuilding, presentation skills, and oral advocacy.
Most simulation courses are for upper-division students. In the first year, students have the chance to take one of our four-day simulation courses in the week before the regular Spring semester.
