OPEN HOUSE - Wed 4/7 at 4PM - Concentration in Advocacy Certificate

Post by AdvocacyInstitute »

Interested in gaining the intellectual and practical skills necessary to become effective litigators at the trial and appellate levels?

Come to our Open House to learn more about the Concentration in Advocacy Certificate on Wednesday April 7 at 4 pm via Zoom: https://buffalo.zoom.us/j/95233919414

The Concentration is nationally unique in that it exposes students to three sets of experiences essential to the development of skilled litigators:
- First, students must take a set of rigorous doctrinal courses that provide the theoretical foundation and ethics necessary to become creative and adaptable lawyers.
- Second, students must take skills-based courses in our trial, appellate, and mediation programs­—thus ensuring that they become versatile litigators.
- Third, the Concentration emphasizes client-centered advocacy, and thus requires students to represent clients through the law school’s clinics and practicums.

The Concentration requirements are as follows: https://www.law.buffalo.edu/academics/j ... ocacy.html

Professor Anthony O'Rourke, who is the Director of the Advocacy Institute, and Rina Hernandez, who will be the first student to graduate with the Certificate, will be present to talk more about the Concentration and answer questions.

If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact Dawn Skopinski at skopinsk@buffalo.edu.

Hope to see you there!
