Course Description

Being good at law school is not the same as being ready for legal work.

The gap between academic knowledge and real-world competence is where most young professionals stumble.

Legal Practice Foundations is designed to bridge that gap.

This course doesn’t focus on legal theory. It prepares you for how the profession actually works. Whether you want to litigate, join a law firm, or step into a corporate legal team, you’ll be expected to understand how courts function, manage filings, communicate with clients, draft real-world documents, and carry yourself like a professional from day one.

These are not niche skills. They are essential to a successful legal career and yet they’re often not the focus in law schools.

With four structured modules: Inside the Courtroom, Inside the Law Firm, Research & Drafting, and Just Out of College - the course helps you build the skills, habits, and confidence that employers and clients look for.

If you’re serious about building a career in law, this isn’t optional.
