Jaclyn Habas Mentors Future Lawyers Through Windsor Law Practice Simulation 

Jaclyn Habas recently completed her second year as a facilitator for Windsor Law’s Problem-Based Practice Simulation (WLPS). 

The week-long program gives first-year law students hands-on experience with real-world legal challenges. This year, Jaclyn guided two teams of seven students each through a complex wrongful termination case. 

Real Skills, Real Results 

This program translates classroom studies to a simulated real-world experience. Students didn’t just read about employment law — they actively participated.  

For this year’s program, each team was required to do the following: 

• Research applicable employment legislation 

• Meet with their “client” twice to gather information and provide advice 

• Develop negotiation strategies 

• Advocate for their client’s best interests 

On the final day of the simulation, both teams successfully negotiated settlements that reinstated their client with additional employment perks. These outcomes demonstrated the students’ ability to combine practical legal knowledge with real-world negotiation skills. 

Why Mentorship Matters 

Programs like WLPS bridge the gap between legal theory and practice, preparing the next generation of lawyers for the realities of client representation. 

At Greg Monforton & Partners, we believe in giving back to the legal community. Jaclyn’s commitment to mentoring future lawyers reflects our firm’s values of professional excellence and community involvement. 

We look forward to seeing these students develop their careers and wish them success as they continue their legal education. 

Congratulations to Jaclyn and all the participating students on a successful simulation week!
