Description

For students externing in the United States but outside of the greater Washington, DC area. Description for "Reflective Lawyering:" Externship seminars provide students with an opportunity to engage in critical reflection about the legal profession, their own future legal careers, and their priorities and values as lawyers in conjunction with their field placement experiences. As with other externship seminars, this course is designed to: (1) Assist you in getting the most out of your field placement, and (2) learn about the realities of the practice of law through the lens of your "real world" experience and class discussions, and thereby build skills as a practicing lawyer. In addition, in this seminar we will place special emphasis on developing your skills as a “reflective lawyer” – by which we mean taking a proactive, self-aware, and principle-centered approach to managing your externship and career in general. We will discuss ways in which you can develop “meta-skills” to step back and engage in a process of deliberate reflection about your principles, goals, career, and job, and thereby maximize your success and growth while integrating your personal values into your practice and career. We will discuss how to apply these meta-skills in specific contexts that arise in your field placements and beyond
