We are pleased to announce the release of the 2010-2011 Clear Admit School Guide to Georgetown University Law Center, the 12th and final title in our 2010-2011 law school guide series. To take a “look inside” the guide or to purchase it for immediate download, please visit the Clear Admit Shop!
The Clear Admit Guide to Georgetown University Law Center contains the most up-to-date information available about the admissions process, academic programs and quality of life at Georgetown University Law Center, and we present it to you in an easy-to-read format. Download your copy to learn about Georgetown Law’s unique Curriculum B, its London-based Center for Transnational Legal Studies, its robust Public Interest Law Scholars Program and much, much more. Here’s a glimpse of our section on the Georgetown Law clinical program:
“The clinical program at Georgetown Law consists of 14 clinics, all of which offer free or low-cost legal services to underserved communities. In addition to these fourteen Georgetown-run programs, students can also participate in the independent clinic D.C. Law Students in Court, which is open to students from five law schools in the D.C. area. In all of these clinics, students are responsible for most aspects of client representation, including research, interviewing clients, counseling, negotiation, analysis, legal writing and elements of the oral advocacy process. Depending on the clinic in which they choose to enroll, students can gain experience in trial, administrative, appellate or legislative practice under the direct supervision of Georgetown Law faculty, as well as learn about corporate and transactional law and engage in policy analysis. In a few Georgetown clinics, students are permitted to personally represent their clients in court.
Georgetown’s newest clinic is the Community Justice Project, which opened in the spring of 2010. Students in this clinic take on a wide variety of cases based on the needs of the marginalized clients who approach them; thus far, the clinic has offered legal assistance to clients with HIV, represented runaway youths and people facing life sentences in prison, and helped incarcerated parents to reestablish contact with their children. Students’ responsibilities include investigating cases brought before the clinic, trial preparation, community organizing, written and oral advocacy, and lobbying governmental agencies on behalf of their clients.”
Like our other 11 Clear Admit Law School Guides, which were released in late July, the Guide to Georgetown University Law Center is designed to help law applicants:
- Select law schools effectively by comparing J.D. programs head-to-head using objective data that goes beyond published rankings
- Save time assembling application materials as the guides provide the key admissions information that law applicants need in one location
- Craft informed application essays with school-specific details about special programs, faculty, and experiential learning opportunities to enhance Personal Statements and supplemental essays
- Develop an insightful waitlist strategy by demonstrating knowledge of a program that proves the applicant’s “fit” in the class
The Clear Admit Guide to Georgetown University Law Center is available in the Clear Admit Shop, along with our 11 other titles: Harvard Law, Yale Law, Stanford Law, Columbia Law, NYU School of Law, Chicago Law, Penn Law, Berkeley Law, Michigan Law, Northwestern Law and Virginia School of Law. Guides can be purchased individually for $25 each, or for a discounted price of $20 each if you add three or more to your shopping cart.
