Lawyers as Transformational Leaders

This course guides students to recognize and develop their leadership potential, first for self-leadership in their own lives and then as models to inspire others and improve the legal profession. Students learn science-based transformational principles and practices that upgrade academic performance, work competence, personal health, energy, and well-being, and that build beneficial habits for continuing progress in their careers and professional life. Instructors with broad experience in legal and other professional practice provide insights, methods, and coaching throughout the semester. Students will engage with the principles and practices during and outside of class. There is no exam; course assessment is based on regular activity and reflective reporting, maintenance and submission of a course journal, and occasional postings to share learning with classmates.
