Trial By Fire
Walking over hot coals might have seemed like a good way
to determine guilt or innocence in medieval times but with
a little perspective (and some very painful lessons) better
ideas ultimately prevailed. The same goes with legal education:
In 1968, Northeastern University School of Law introduced
T H E CO O P E R AT I V E L E G A L E D U CAT I O N P R O G R A M
( C O - O P ) , which integrates classroom learning with practical
experience so that students graduate with the skills, knowledge
and confidence to hit the ground running.
D E C A D E S O F E X P E R I E N C E
As a Northeastern law student, you’ll complete a first year of rigorous
academic courses and then transition to alternating between semesters
in the classroom and full-time work experiences (co-ops). On co-op,
you’ll work side by side with attorneys and judges in law firms, courtrooms,
government agencies, legal services organizations, businesses and a wide
variety of other organizations on substantive legal work. Since our co-op
program is integrated into the curriculum, you are guaranteed three co-ops
and will graduate with nearly a year of full-time legal work experience.
Needless to say, our model of educating law students has caught fire —
in a good way. Today, we’re ranked No. 1 for practical legal training by
The National Jurist.

Julius Halstead ’19
JULIUS HALSTEAD always wanted to
be a lawyer. In high school, he interned
with a congressman and a county
executive in his hometown of Bel Air,
Maryland. In his senior year, Julius served
as a page in the Maryland General
Assembly. He headed to Penn State
with the idea of majoring in political
science but ended up double majoring,
with the addition of philosophy. His
mother, a chaplain, suggested philosophy
so he would know how to “think a
thought all the way through.” Now,
as an associate with Goulston & Storrs,
he’s the lawyer clients count on
for expert litigation advice delivered
through a philosopher’s lens.

“ The co-op program exposes you to a
remarkable variety of legal opportunities,
and then it’s up to you to take ownership
of your career.”

Julius wanted to experience a client-

For REGINA FOUN TAIN , it’s all about
the mini-victories. From her co-op doing
defense and innocence work to her
post-graduate job as a public defender,
Regina knows how much is on the line for
her clients. If she is successful at a bail
hearing or secures a motion to dismiss,
her clients know that the system is working
on their behalf. While she may not win every
time, helping another person — who is
often facing not only the criminal justice
system but also coping with systemic
factors such as racism and poverty —
motivates her to keep fighting. In the end,
she firmly believes we are all more than
the worst thing we’ve ever done.
Regina Fountain ’19Innocence Project New OrleansNew Orleans
For her first co-op, Regina wanted to explore
innocence work, which involved legal research
and writing related to long-term efforts to
exonerate life-sentenced prisoners. She also
developed investigation skills for witness
interviews and news-media research.
SELECTED CO-OPS
Public Defender AgencyAnchorage
Like thousands of other Northeastern law students,
Regina used her co-ops not only to try different
legal experiences, but also to see other parts of the
world. In Anchorage, she was in court every day,
representing clients in bail hearings, plea agreements
for misdemeanors and for Rule 5 hearings, which
require the state to indict by a deadline when felony
charges are involved.
“Alaska has flexible rules for student
attorneys. As a result, I was in the
courtroom every day during my co-op
and got to do my first trial.”
Office of the Colorado State Public Defender Golden
During this co-op, Regina’s supervisor trusted
her to take a full misdemeanor caseload.
She honed a broad range of skills, including jury
selection, pre-trial hearings, writing and arguing
motions to suppress, and handling discovery
and pre-trial process. While in Alaska, Regina’s
caseload was focused on one-time hearings;
in Colorado, she established a relationship with
her clients and took a few of them through the
complete court process.
