Legal Practice Seminar - Denver University, Sturm College of Law

See my DU Portfolio (select the Tab above) for Group A's final presentation in the class.

Legal Practice Seminar is designed for JD amd MSLA candidates. The official course description states: "Students learn how effective law practice administrators and managers base policy and management decisions on a comprehensive understanding of the law firm as a complex and interdependent equation. This course provides an overview of the business functions of a law practice." At the beginning of the course, the students broke into groups with the intent of planning and designing a law firm. The final consisted of presenting a PowerPoint and live presentation by each group pitching their ideas and strategy for their firms. I joined with two JD candidates and another MSLA candidate to form the Law Offices of Crough & Schenck. Throughout the semester stages of the final presentation were completed as group deliverables. Attached is the final product of Crough & Schenck presented as a booklet. The following parts were contributed by:
