Description
This is a one-credit pass/fail seminar taken concurrently with an externship designed for students who have previously completed an externship seminar and field placement. The goal of this class is to help you think more deeply about your professional identities as lawyers and your career goals, interests and values, and to help you build the broader skillset you will need to have an enriching and fulfilling career as a lawyer. We hope to accomplish this goal through focused, short reading assignments; discussion and reflection on your experiences; by creating a safe and supportive learning community; and by supporting you in taking an active role in your learning.
