Legal Practice Skills

In Penn Carey Law’s dynamic Legal Practice Skills programming, students will learn not only how to think like a lawyer, but also how to act and communicate like one.

Lawyers rely on fundamental practice skills to solve problems for their clients.  Penn Carey Law’s Legal Practice Skills course empowers students to flex the knowledge they have already acquired and develop areas they need to thrive as a lawyer beyond their 1L year. In addition to the mandatory first-year, year-long Legal Practice Skills course, the Law School offers a wealth of opportunities for developing practical and professional skills inside and outside of the classroom. 

Courses

The Law School offers a broad range of courses to help students advance and hone their legal and professional skills.
