Clients come to lawyers seeking problem-solving advice. This course follows a “client-centered” approach to counseling that will examine techniques lawyers can use to help clients make good decisions. Class sessions will incorporate role plays that cover different stages of the counseling process, including clarifying clients’ objectives and identifying alternatives and consequences, in litigation and transactional contexts.
