Becoming Thriving Lawyers

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

Professional success is often defined in terms of milestones and numbers: high GPA, moot court, journals, clerkship, prestigious job, and high-profile clients... But this approach to professional development has limits. It does not make room for invisible markers of success, such as alignment with your values and those of the legal profession. Neither does it go into the mechanics of how to excel. This course is designed to set you up for success by inviting you to reflect systematically on the kind of professional you want to become. At the same time, it provides you with a space to learn and practice the skills you need to get there (including metacognition, decision-making and leadership). Because this is an interactive experience, please come ready to share your thoughts and actively participate. Note that this course follows an accelerated format.
