It made me see my own talents and capabilities actually play out in a setting outside the classroom which I appreciated. I think it is a good buffer between the two semesters.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>I liked learning about the different penal policies in Europe and the international law ramifications of extradition and terrorism. I also liked working collaboratively with my classmates and having the opportunity to make an oral argument, something very scary for me, in a non-threatening environment.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>I can&#8217;t really think of anything I liked best because everything was so fun and useful. It&#8217;s probably my favorite class thus far as a 1L. <\/em>If<em> forced to choose I think the development of lawyering skills is probably my &#8220;favorite&#8221; simply because it felt like I got to use my education right away and it felt like there was a payoff at the end of slogging through all these casebooks.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>I really loved the team-work aspect of the program. Because the program is pass\/fail and there are no grades involved, I felt a spirit of collaboration that&#8217;s missing from regular courses during the year. There were <\/em>less<em> obstacles to sharing thoughts and ideas. I felt encouraged to work with my team and share arguments with other teams, too.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The subject matter and the problem presented was the most interesting part of the course for me. I enjoyed its relevance to current events and in thinking through the issue, I could imagine working in this type of field as a career rather than just in a classroom.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The course design was highly effective, with interesting and engaging simulations [that] tackled poignant and plausible ethical issues that could very feasibly occur in legal practice.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The hands on aspect of all the exercises undertaken in the course was exactly what an experimental class should be. I found the oral argument segments riveting and they worked to confirm I&#8217;m in the right place at law school.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>I appreciated the opportunity to practice real world interviewing and presentation skills.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The provided materials were excellent because they clearly explained the key elements of the FCPA using statutes, cases, and the resource guide. I really liked how interactive and challenging the course was. I think the interviews are a great way to gain hands-on experience and applying some of the skills and knowledge we have learned in law school so far.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>This course was incredible. The professor created an environment where we could think critically and creatively about a problem that we were not very familiar with. He provided an opportunity to meet with experts and put into practice the work we were doing.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>This will probably be the coolest and most fun and creative class I take in law school. I feel very grateful to have been a part of it.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can also review <a href=\"https:\/\/georgetown.box.com\/s\/0pr0qtscz13qu441xywmt3rf3zrqwxa8\">course evaluations online<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really liked the content and the feeling that we were finally connecting what we learn in class to real life and gaining a better understanding of the complicated ways [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":8505,"menu_order":15,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":""},"class_list":["post-8621","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"ticketed":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.law.georgetown.edu\/experiential-learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.law.georgetown.edu\/experiential-learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.law.georgetown.edu\/experiential-learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.law.georgetown.edu\/experiential-learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.law.georgetown.edu\/experiential-learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.law.georgetown.edu\/experiential-learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8621\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.law.georgetown.edu\/experiential-learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.law.georgetown.edu\/experiential-learning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
