Abstract
This post provides excerpts from the Building a Better Bar study about new law school graduates’ unmet instructional needs. The study found that new lawyers were “woefully unprepared” to work with clients. They had difficulty (1) communicating with clients, (2) managing expectations, (3) breaking bad news, (4) coping with difficult clients, (5) negotiating with counterparts and clients, and (5) understanding the “big picture” of client matters.
