Law Student Professional Development and Formation

Law schools currently do an excellent job of helping students to 'think like a lawyer,' but empirical data show that clients, legal employers, and the legal system need students to develop a wider range of competencies. This book, written by Neil Hamilton and Louis Bilionis, helps legal educators to understand these competencies and provides practical ways to build them into a law school curriculum.

Coach Training

One-on-one coaching is the most effective curriculum to foster each student’s growth in foundational learning outcomes and their post-graduation goals. An effective curriculum must go where each student is developmentally and engage at the student’s current developmental stage
