LAW-597 - Opening a Law Office

Semester Credits: 2 Weeks: 10

This course will provide a practical guide to starting and operating a successful law office through the formation of class “law firms” of 2 to 4 students per firm.  Students will learn both the business and the legal aspects of starting their own firm including accounting, marketing, taxes and organizational systems.  The class will explore basic corporate forms such as partnerships, legal formations, taxes, basic accounting, and banking and will give students the opportunity to work with and gain proficiency with CLIO, a common law firm software.  Additionally, the course will explore the attorney’s ethical obligations and how they interact with the business of starting a law firm.
