Are you thinking about applying to law school? Have you been told you should consider a career in law? This course is designed to be a play-by-play of how to prepare for law school and what to expect as an attorney. The class will meet four times virtually and is structured in chronological order, starting with considering applying to law school and ending with the practicality of day-to-day practice. You will hear from law students and legal professionals on what to expect as a student and practicing attorney. We will simulate law school and legal practice and engage in meaningful discussions about this profession. The class will end with a final presentation designed to teach you and your classmates about a practical subject within the practice of law.
