ICLE Skills & Methods

Core Component - First Year

The first component of the Skills and Methods Course is a series of five “core courses,” all targeted to New Jersey practice, including:
• Family Law
• Real Estate
• Will Drafting and Probate Practice
• Professional Responsibility and (Choose one)
• Civil Trial Preparation
or
• Criminal Trial Preparation

TIME FRAME AND FORMAT
The complete series of “core courses” is offered four times each year (spring, summer, fall and winter cycles) in regional locations throughout the state. The cycles are offered in several different formats - weekdays, evenings, and Saturdays - for your convenience. You can choose the format, location, and time schedule that best suits your needs, but you must complete the series of “core courses” within two cycles after you are sworn in. Or, you may take the series of “core courses” before being sworn in, even as early as your final semester of law school, if you submit a letter of good standing from your Academic Dean.

PRACTICE EXERCISES
Each of the five “core courses” includes the preparation of a written exercise that is designed to simulate the types of matters new lawyers would be asked to handle by a client (e.g., a real estate closing, a will, a complaint, etc.). Exercises must be completed and submitted by assigned dates, and you must receive passing grades on all five exercises in order to complete this requirement. If you receive a failure or an incomplete grade on an exercise, you may be required to complete a makeup exercise and re-register for that lecture in a subsequent cycle.
