LAW-2490 Professional Identity
This course is designed to help students prepare for their legal careers by exploring how their professional identities will be developed over the course of their law school career; the professional role of the lawyer and types of lawyering; dimensions of personal well-being, and how maintaining well-being impacts law school and practice; how to relate to an increasingly diverse profession and clientele, and other topics related to preparing for professional success in law school and practice. The course will include readings, meditation/mindfulness practices, journal writing, presentations and other assignments designed collectively to help each student lay the foundation for a written professional development plan in place of a final examination. While for pedagogical reasons the course will be graded on an honors/pass/no pass basis, students should treat the course professionally, with all the diligence and care that professionalism requires. The course will meet six times each semester at two to three weeks 12 Jun 2023 11:09 AM
