The class is designed to give students a better understanding of the meaning and dynamics of conflict to broaden a student’s understanding of the law and lawyering beyond the mere application of legal doctrine. In particular, the class can help students (1) achieve greater understanding and empathy for the non-legal pressures on future clients, and (2) gain deeper insights into which processes and remedies might be most effective in addressing a future client’s needs and interests. Additionally, the class can give students a fuller perspective of their place as lawyers in society and how they may serve in that role more constructively.
