Transition to the Profession.

Catalog description

This is an optional 1-credit, 1-semester, pass/fail 1L course exploring what the ABA calls "professional identity" in law: "what it means to be a lawyer," especially in light of (1) obligations to clients and society and (2) the values, guiding principles, and well-being practices that are "foundational to successful legal practice." Students will consider and reflect on employment and service opportunities; bar-licensure obligations; legal education; and individually tailored pathways into and through the legal profession.
