2024-2025 Catalog

LAW-8061 Business Communications and Etiquette

The course would cover the basics of public speaking and business communications in our in-person, on-line and hybrid world.  We will also cover how to plan and run meetings and how to approach professional dinners, receptions and business trips.  Concepts around personal communication style, communicating across difference and working with colleagues from different backgrounds will also be covered.  While the course is not intended to cover oral advocacy or legal writing, examples and exercises will generally come from legal employment settings.  My idea is to help prepare 1L students for the "soft" skills needed in a professional setting.
