law School Resources
We offer a roadmap, tools, trainings, and curriculum designed to support character development, cultural competence and professional identity formation for future lawyers.
How we help law schools
Citizen Discourse’s program and curriculum meets the spirit of revised ABA Standard 303.
Our methodology is human-centered, evidence-based and works best when baked into a classroom or clinic. We believe in committing to the practice and taking an intentional approach.
Integrating Citizen Discourse tools at the beginning of the student’s law school journey normalizes your institution’s values and positively impacts your classroom and campus culture. This approach fosters respect and inclusion and leads to trust and more psychologically safe learning spaces.
Why our approach is effective
Our Ethos is to:
Write and get mindful:
We bake in reflective writing and mindfulness.
Learn from experts:
We apply best practices from behavioral psychology, brain science, & restorative justice to build space for civil discourse. We value citing sources.
Commit to the practice:
We apply a growth mindset and offer a classroom methodology that helps grow listening, and other emotional intelligence skills, with practice.
Design intentionally:
Thoughtfulness infuses the design of each class which helps build psychological safety.
Get proximate:
Relationships fuel empathy and respect. Our approach makes space for participants to foster connection with one's self and others.

Citizen Discourse's framework provides an accessible way to foster community and trust within groups, which helps achieve goals much more efficiently. As a student and future lawyer, this framework helps me to engage in productive conversations while keeping a person-first approach.
