Description

Through lectures, active classroom discussion, student journals, professional development exercises, and a select group of assigned readings, students will have the opportunity not only to reflect thoughtfully on the dynamics of their externship experiences and to discuss substantive legal issues, but they will also be challenged to constructively reflect upon any challenges faced in the workplace, with an emphasis on strategizing positive outcomes from a career development standpoint. Issues including work-life balance, career goal setting and accomplishment, the realities of legal practice, networking strategies, management skills for lawyers, and career entrepreneurship are some of the specific topics to be discussed in class.
