Abstract

Preparing to enter law practice takes learning a lot more than what law students experience in the classroom. This book's premise is that law school has a hidden professional-development curriculum beyond the traditional curriculum. Lawyers serve in many different practice settings doing many different kinds of legal work. Because of the variety of practice settings and legal fields in which lawyers work, law students have an opportunity and obligation to evaluate in law school their best career choices, to learn more about those practice settings outside of the classroom. This book organizes those activities based on the knowledge-skills-ethics construct used in the Carnegie Foundation’s report Educating Lawyers, applying the same explicitly for career and professional-development activities. That design gives this book the comprehensiveness and order that career and professional development warrants. Every law student deserves to find their best career and be as fully prepared for it as possible when they graduate. This book serves that end.
