Advocacy and Dispute Resolution

Build your professional skills in advocacy and dispute resolution through classroom instruction, simulation, externships and actual client representation. Instruction includes research and writing in the first year, and progresses to client counseling, negotiation and mediation, motion and trial practice, and appellate advocacy in the second and third years.

Students in this area of study hone their professional skills and gain firsthand experience through involvement in competitions, clinics, the Northwest Institute for Dispute Resolution and other hands-on learning programs.
