STREET LAW University of Washington ~ School of Law Course Requirements Law students must accomplish tasks in three phases: Field Component, Planning and Preparation to Teach, and Seminar. TIME GUIDELINES: Law students should spend a minimum of 2 hours per week in the high school classroom, 2 hours per week in seminar and 2 to 3 hours in planning and preparation for each hour in class. The work components described below are written with this time frame in mind. A. Field Component All law student teaching teams are required to teach a minimum of two hours a week from the first week of February until your mock trial is concluded in May, excluding vacation periods. You will probably want to spend more than two hours a week during the mock trial preparation period, and we will have fewer seminar classes starting in late April and May to accommodate that. High school mock trials will be held between May 15 and 30th. Classes that are missed due to illness or emergency should be made up by making special arrangements with the cooperating high school teacher. The teaching days are agreed upon in January and may only be changed with permission of your Professors.
