Question: For your MSW/JD program, do you have to have any child counseling experience? It just seems that those types of lawyers (in Oklahoma) are often placed into positions where they're expected to make decisions that their education (not including child psychology) has not really prepared them for. This has been a constant source of frustration from the point of view of the represented parties.

Sorry, I don't think I was entirely clear. I was talking about the schedule my wife had when she got her master's in political science. A couple of the classes the poster mentioned sounded similar.
I'm not in law school yet. I'm currently going through the application process. I'm doing legal-related work right now, working for a legal organization doing public/media relations relating to policy matters, and some editing. I'm looking to start law school next fall at a place to be determined. Hopefully I haven't led people on here to believe that I'm a law student. That would be getting just a tad ahead of myself.
When I said I'd spoken with a family law practitioner, it's part of my effort to pick the brains of law student and lawyers. I want to have somewhat of an idea of what I'm getting into. I probably spoke to around 30-40 people in different parts of law and law school before I even made the decision to apply. I understand that you can't be totally prepared until Day One, but I figure the more info the better.
