Albany's robust public and private sectors create opportunities for internships and field placements that add dimensions to your learning. And the region's many cultural, recreational and social attractions offer endless potential when it's time for a break from the books.
The Moot Court Program aids in the development of effective advocacy techniques by providing students with in-depth opportunities to improve their analytical, research and writing, and oral advocacy skills through healthy competition.
The program consists of multiple intraschool and interschool competitions involving appellate advocacy, trial advocacy, client counseling and negotiation as well as host for the National Family Law Competition.
