The Learning Curve
Abstract
In this article I demonstrate how I’ve brought my client advising skills into my work with law students. My work with law students is informed by my use of the client-centered lawyering model as adapted from my practice background. I will address how the skills of client-centered lawyering model translate remarkably well advising law students through what I call the law student-centered development model. This model of working with law students helps advisors train the next generation of lawyers in key lawyering skills through the modeling of those skills.
