About the course

General practitioners are the backbone of the American legal system and deliver the bulk of the legal services in this country. Furthermore, if you plan to practice law in a small firm or town, general practice may be your only option. In order to fulfill the public?s need for basic legal services, general practitioners must have the broadest possible legal background. Because a general practitioner is often the first lawyer consulted by a client with a legal problem, she must be able to solve the client?s problem or refer him to a more specialized attorney. Thus, the general practitioner must be familiar with the major areas of the law with which the average citizen comes in contact.
