Legal Profession (3 OR 2)

Legal Profession examines the activities and responsibilities of the lawyer and the lawyer’s relationship with clients, the legal profession, the courts, and the public. The course treats the lawyer’s fiduciary duty to clients, the provision of adequate legal services, and the reconciliation of the lawyer’s obligation to clients, in and out of court, with the demands of the proper administration of justice and the public interest. The course, therefore, provides essential preparation for the practice of law. At the discretion of the Associate Dean, this course may be offered for either two or three credits.

Enrollment in Prof. Harner’s day section offered in the spring semester 2011 is limited to first year students only. First year students who are planning to take summer clinic may find it especially useful to have this course in advance of that experience.

Students may not take Legal Profession and either Legal Profession Seminar or Professional Responsibility and Practice: The Rules and Reality
