Description

This is a three-credit, graded seminar. It is taken in conjunction with a field placement in a non-profit or government organization or a private law firm doing pro bono work. In this course, we will explore the meaning of being a lawyer and a member of the legal profession. We will think about the variety of roles lawyers may have and the wide range of experiences available to persons with law degrees. We will explore the lawyer-client relationship in public interest settings, as well as the skills and tools required for effective advocacy on a client’s behalf. We will also carefully examine the ethical obligations of lawyers and how they play out in various practice settings. Finally, we will consider how to be fulfilled and maintain a healthy balance in one’s career in the law. The course is open to all students in externship field placements and the format of the class will include simulations and guest speakers.
