LAW 5007: Current Topics - in Business Law
Spring 2027 • Section To Be Determined

Course Description

This seminar will examine the growth of Big Law and how its evolution has changed the legal profession and the practice of law. We will examine the varied structures of large law firms, including different leadership models and equity and non-equity partnerships. We will explore how those structures impact the careers of young lawyers in the areas of compensation, client relations, pro bono work, and professional development. We will discuss work from home policies and their pros and cons. In short, we will look at how organization and policy drives culture. And we will examine where Big Law is heading and issues firms have begun and will continue to face as the technological and legal landscape evolves.
