That was a mandatory 1st year course for us. I think it's part and parcel of being a well rounded lawyer. Broadens your options anyway. Good luck finding a gig in the environmental side, that market is TIGHT. Pretty much you have to be top 10% and connected or willing to work for nothing. I looked for a year in that area before I looked for other options.

Crim law was a mandatory 1L course, Crim Pro is usually a 2 year course. Most take Crim Pro 1 in the Spring of 2L and Crim Pro 2 during their third year. I do think it's a good idea for all law students to take Crim Pro, which is why I'm taking it. I don't have as much interest in the Environ. side as I do in transactional work, specifically real estate, construction, development, etc.
