Religious Lawyering and Legal Writing, Or, Do Religious Perspectives Help Teach Students Anything About IRAC?
Ted Becker
Program Code: W2G
Over the past decade or so, the Religious Lawyering movement has devoted much attention to exploring whether and how practitioners and academics can incorporate their religious beliefs into their professional careers. This presentation considers how religious perspectives might broaden students’ exposure to several topics often covered in LRW classes, such as legal ethics, interacting with clients, and reconciling personal values with professional obligations.
