Pretrial Advocacy in the Part-time Hybrid-online FLEX JD Program

 


Here are students in my Seattle  University Law School’s Pretrial Advocacy course arguing a mock motion during the last class of the course. While King County Superior Court Judge Melinda Young presided over some of the arguments - for instance the one shown here, Judge Patrick Oishi presided over others during this Saturday’s event. This is the culmination and a high point of the course for the students. 


My students are participating in S.U. Law School’s FLEX JD program which is designed for people who are working or otherwise occupied during the day.  The FLEX JD program runs for three and a half years rather than the traditional three years, and almost all classes are done online commencing at 6 p.m. with two weekend sessions where the students attend in-person classes at the law school. 

The curriculum for the FLEX JD courses is basically the same as those for regular students. For instance, my Pretrial Advocacy class uses the same text book – my Pretrial Advocacy: Planning, Analysis, and Strategy (w/ Connected eBook with Study Center) – as that used in regular classes. 

The subject matter covered during the course is fundamentally the same but condensed to one class per week rather than two sessions. Learn more about the course by visiting Seattle University Law School’s website.
