trials, sentencing, involuntary commitments to mental and alcohol treatment
facilities, and the acceptance of negotiated settlements and/or plea-bargains.
Observation of state and federal courts at both the trial and appellate
level.

Due
to the scheduling and travel difficulties encountered while trying to observe
federal courts during the past few years, the professor has determined that it
