The Curriculum
During the second and third years of school, Webster Scholars complete a wide range of courses, including specific, intensive Daniel Webster Scholar Honors Program courses. Students demonstrate their developing professional skills and judgment in simulated, clinical, and externship settings, and compile a portfolio of work.
Several times during the program, Webster Scholars are
required to demonstrate their ability to practice law before
judges, lawyers, New Hampshire Bar Examiners, faculty, and
classmates. Students must show that they know how to listen,
creatively solve problems, make informed judgments, recognize
and resolve ethical problems, negotiate and counsel people
effectively, and be committed to continuing their education and
contributing to the profession.
Webster Scholars may also choose electives and still take classes with other students. Some of the courses that are required of Webster Scholars are electives for other
classmates. A limited number of the courses required of Webster
Scholars will be open only to Webster Scholars.
See the Pierce Law Curricular Guide for more information.
Webster Scholars graduate with the rest of their class assuming all other requirements are met. Although the work is rigorous, the courses required of Webster Scholars count as credits
toward graduation. Although summer school is an option, Webster Scholars can complete the work within the regular academic schedule.
