Critical Skills Program
The Critical Skills Program (CSP) assists students in developing and honing the essential legal skills of critical reading, thinking and writing. On the cutting edge of legal education, CSP reinforces skills through various hands-on activities -- individual and small group sessions, skills workshops, and writing labs. The program strives to assist in the transition from layperson to law student and ultimately lawyer. Highly qualified CSP instructors teach students how to study smarter and be more successful, while guiding, stimulating, monitoring and coaching. Unlike other professors who have duties beyond teaching, CSP instructors have one job – and only one job – to assist students in developing and mastering those skills central to success in law school, passing the bar and practicing law.

Clinical Programs
Clinical education is an important part of the NSU Law School experience. In fact, we think clinical education is so important that each and every third year law student is guaranteed a place in one of our clinics. The Clinical Semester brings the study of law to life. Students receive quality "nuts and bolts" training from experienced professor-practitioners and distinguished
guest lecturers on campus. Afterward, students participate in individualized internships where they receive in- depth, "hands on" experience in the field and one-on-one mentoring from an attorney supervisor. Each internship is unique. Nova Southeastern University Law Clinic Interns have been placed in law offices and legal departments in South Florida, across the nation, and
around the world.
