Finally, each student is required to be involved in one of W&L's legal clinics, externship programs, or transnational programs to gain real-client experience. The program is flexible and allows students the ability to tailor their schedule and, if they wish, to take several traditional casebook method courses. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Honor_System">The Honor System</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Washington_and_Lee_University_School_of_Law&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: The Honor System"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Honor_system" title="Honor system">Honor System</a> has been run by the student body since 1905 and is derived from Robert E. Lee during his tenure as <a href="/wiki/List_of_Presidents_of_Washington_and_Lee_University" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Presidents of Washington and Lee University">President</a> of the University. Any student found guilty of an Honor Violation by his or her peers is subject to a single penalty: expulsion. The Honor System is defined and administered solely by students, and there is no higher review. A formal review, occasionally including referendums, is held every three years to refine the tenets of the Honor System. Students continue to support the Honor System and its single penalty overwhelmingly, and alumni regularly point to the Honor System as one of the distinctive marks they carry with them from their W&L experience. W&L Law students enjoy several distinct benefits from the Honor System. These include more freedom in exam taking as well as an informal account system at the Brief Stop cafeteria in Sydney Lewis Hall. These are balanced by the strict penalty for a violation of the Honor System. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Clinics,_journals,_moot_courts,_and_centers"><span id="Clinics.2C_journals.2C_moot_courts.2C_and_centers"></span>Clinics, journals, moot courts, and centers</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Washington_and_Lee_University_School_of_Law&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Clinics, journals, moot courts, and centers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:W%26LLawLib.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Wilbur C.
