Skills through simulation: From introduction to mastery<\/h2>\n

Mitchell Hamline was a pioneer in the use of videotape to both teach skills and critique student performance, and we remain a leader in helping students sharpen their skills for practice, even if the format is now streaming video and laptops. Learn and refine skills through simulation starting in your very first class, Legal Writing, and further refine and master them as you continue to use simulation throughout law school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Simulations help students begin to integrate their skills in legal analysis with their own values and experiences, which is the first step to forming a professional identity. They give students the opportunity to pull together the various pieces of lawyering and give them practice finding the words to do the right thing.<\/p>\n\r\n
