Description
The goal of this three-credit, graded seminar is to promote meaningful reflection on different types of lawyering, with the ultimate goal of each student developing a personalized, lasting framework for evaluating personal and job satisfaction. We will focus on goal-setting, self-direction, and self-evaluation as we consider the purposes for which we practice and how we might maximize our happiness as lawyers. Professor Ahranjani will employ the following pedagogical methods: discussion of readings, guest speakers, student simulations and presentations, and written reflections on externship experiences.
