Students participate in mock law school course on contracts

Dean Bridgeman explains a point of contract law.

Students interested in law school had the opportunity to attend a mock law school course on contracts at UAA on October 24.   Dean Curtis Bridgeman of Willamette University College of Law explained how law school courses are structured and taught, and then began discussion of a classic case in the law of contracts.  Students read a copy of the case prior to class.
  
An award-winning professor and leading scholar on contracts and commercial law, Dean Bridgeman brought the experience of a law school course to life using the Socratic method of teaching. Following the class, Dean Bridgeman answered questions from students about the law school admission process, cost of a law school education, and career options.

Prof. Deb Periman, J.D., Justice faculty, coordinated the event.
