Module 1

Why Law School?

Introduction

There are lots of ways to lead, advocate, and make change, but only a few ways to bring all those things together. Becoming an attorney is one of them.

In this module, you’ll learn what a U.S. legal education looks like, what you can expect in the first year of law school, what foundational skills and knowledge you’ll develop as a student (and why they matter), how you get hands-on training in law school, and how you can make your legal training interdisciplinary.
