LAW 684 Lawyering, Leadership & Professionalism
This course considers three aspects in the development of competent, leading lawyers: exercising problem-solving lawyering skills, developing a professional identity that guides students' selected career paths, and exhibiting professionalism as an active member of the bar and officer of the court. Together, these three components coalesce to provide a sound foundation for the acquisition and refinement of legal skills and support development of a competitive legal career. This approach enhances the learning experience for students while reinforcing that excellence in knowing the law and basic exposure to expert application of the law are essential personal priorities and critical outcomes from legal education.
