Program Overview

The Daniel Webster Scholar Honors Program is a practice-based program that prepares students for immediate entry into legal practice upon graduation. Students participate in six DWS-specific courses that incorporate substantial simulation, and are evaluated for bar admission based on their performance throughout the two-year program, which serves as a substitute for the traditional bar examination. The program aims to provide students with a range of legal skills, including legal analysis and reasoning, written and oral communication, professionalism, and client counseling and management. Graduates are prepared for careers in various legal fields, including litigation, corporate law, public interest law, and criminal law.
