Strong leaders don't just happen. They are created. That principle guided the founding faculty of Elon University School of Law as they designed the curriculum for their school, which welcomed its first students in 2006.

First- and second-year law students spend two weeks each year in intensive courses designed to help them understand their own goals and values and improve their ability to communicate and work in group settings.
