In case you missed it: âThe legal profession doesnât have a leadership problemâit has a character problemâ, by Charles Edwards. Mr. Edwards post in the ABA Journal is wonderful write-up on the importance of character in leadership.

By integrating best practices into leadership courses, we are preparing our students for their future roles.
