The new Parris Institute for Professional Formation unveils “Launch Week” one week from today. Embedded in Launch Week is the first course in law school for our entering 1Ls, which is a brand new course titled, “Introduction to Professional Formation.” We are very excited.
This week, as you might suspect, we are hard at work making the final preparations for Launch Week. So, on the blog, I thought I would project highlights each day of what is coming next week. Then, next week, during all the wonderful craziness, I will simply do my best to share pictures (which, as you know, are reportedly worth at least a thousand words each).
