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.

both criminal and civil cases to assist

legal conclusions.

Goulston & StorrsBoston

As a summer associate at an Am

“ 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-

focused co-op, so he chose the

introduced evidence, examined and

and made closing statements.

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.
