Launching on June 24! #PassportToPractice—a free virtual bootcamp for law students and grads to build rarely taught skills. Work for three weeks with powerhouse professionals and academics, earn a certificate!

Are you a current law student?   A recent law graduate?   Do you want to enhance your resume?

You are invited to Passport to Practice to improve your knowledge, skills, and story. We believe our summer 2020 program—the result of a collaboration of powerhouse professionals and academics—can help your career.

Consider it the good stuff you (likely) didn’t learn about in law school, and (definitely) won’t studying for the bar exam, but (really) should know if you want to navigate and succeed in the ever-changing legal landscape.

This program is free. We only ask that you commit to the program and provide feedback.

To succeed as a professional in the 21st century, you need to be prepared to answer YES to questions such as: 

• Do you understand how the legal services ecosystem is changing, both pre- and post-pandemic?
• Do you know how to seek and use feedback to improve your work (and excel in your career)?
• Can you speak intelligently about innovation and technology in the legal profession?
• Do you understand how multi-disciplinary teamwork and problem solving is vital to the practice of law?
• Are you clear on the value you can bring to the profession (or do you at least know the secret handshake)?
