Supervision will be provided on-site by a designated contact for the organization who is familiar with the experience and any work of the student, and who will provide a report on the student. There will also be supervision and grading by a full time Faculty member or the Assistant Dean, JD Program (instructors can also opt for 'pass/fail' evaluation). Students will be required to provide a log documenting time spent and activities undertaken and write a reflective piece to explain how the experience has contributed to their legal education.
