Professors Bowman and Adams are seeking a few students to serve as clients for the on-line regional client counseling competition that Stetson will be co-hosting with Boston University the weekend of February 11 and 12.\u202f No advocacy experience or acting experience is required (but please let us know if you have prior experience in acting, as that may affect where we place you.)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A special note for 1L students:\u00a0 Serving as a client will make it possible for you to learn more about Stetson\u2019s advocacy programs in advance of our spring tryouts.\u202f There will be an informational session this spring, but this will give you a nice preview of one type of competition in which our Dispute Resolution Board participates, each year.\u202f<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have a limited number of slots available on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. To serve as a client on Friday afternoon<\/em>, we would need for you to be logged onto Zoom with a stable internet connection no later than 12:30 p.m. on Friday, February 11 and to be available until 4:30 p.m. that day.\u202f For Saturday morning<\/em>, we would need for you to be logged onto Zoom with a stable internet connection no later than 8:30 a.m. and to be available until 11:00 a.m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you commit to serving as a client, please understand that this is a firm commitment:\u202f the competition cannot go forward without a client in each and every room.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u202fThere will be a detailed orientation prior to the competition, but we did want to go ahead and give you some preliminary information regarding what the role would entail.\u202f Every client will play a role based on a script, to be provided to you at least several days prior to the competition.\u202f The students who interview you will, of course, not have access to this script, so you must keep it entirely confidential.\u202f You will want to spend enough time with the script that you are able to respond without reading.\u202f\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n You would play the same role for three teams (Friday) or two teams (Saturday morning), each of which will have forty-five minutes to interview you and ask you questions.\u202f Clients must make every effort to play their role consistently.\u202f For example, if clients act nervous during the first round, they should maintain that same demeanor during succeeding rounds. If they make up facts during the first round, those same facts should be used in the following rounds. If a client makes a mistake or goes \u201coff script\u201d the client must make the same mistake in subsequent rounds to avoid inadvertently benefitting one team over another.\u202f\u00a0 Professors Bowman and Adams are seeking a few students to serve as clients for the on-line regional client counseling competition that Stetson will be co-hosting with Boston University the weekend […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-staff","category-students"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/docket\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/docket\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/docket\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/docket\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/47"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/docket\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53926"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/docket\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53926\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53930,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/docket\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53926\/revisions\/53930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/docket\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/docket\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/docket\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
