GOA - Introduction to Legal Thinking
Grade: 96% (A+)
In the 14-week course “Introduction to Legal Thinking,” I developed the skills to think like a lawyer by exploring legal case studies and applying my learning to real court cases. Through individual, paired, and group activities and assessments, I collaborated with classmates to build logic-based reasoning, research, and critical thinking skills. I participated in a public-facing exhibit, creating an infographic on the Convention on the Rights of the Child and presenting a clear Call to Action. Additionally, I researched and drafted an Amicus Brief supporting or against an international treaty, focusing on topics like Environment and Climate Change, the Law of the Sea, or Trade and Development.
