It is no
secret that law school can be a transformative experience. In this program,
participants will discuss strategies to support the kind of transformation that
will poise students to flourish in their post-law school lives. Drawing on
psychology, education theory, and the growing literature on professional
identity development, participants will explore the factors that contribute to
student motivation, as well as those that encourage students to discover their
own values and begin to develop their own voices as professionals. Social
psychologist Dacher Keltner will speak about awe, compassion, empathy, and
power. The program will include concrete teaching suggestions and techniques.
The format will be interactive to allow for broad discussion and the exchange
of experiences and ideas.
