Description
This is a three-credit graded course. It is taken concurrently with a field placement in a non-profit or governmental organization, or a private law firm handling pro bono matters exclusively. We will explore different topics such as: ethical issues in the workplace, skill development, and how to develop and maintain a fulfilled legal career with a healthy balanced life.
