Abstract
This article provides an introduction to the Symposium, which was held at the University of Denver's Sturm College of Law on September 22 - 23, 2023. The Symposium brought together law professors who have taken up the call in the Carnegie Report and the ABA Accreditation requirement that we make broad and integrated effort to provide opportunities for law students to form their professional identities as future attorneys while they are in law school. The law professors invited to participate in the Symposium have worked and written in the area of professional identity for lawyers for many years, and are among the experts in the field. This article introduces the topic of the Symposium, and each of the eight articles published in this Symposium issue, which was published in a full volume of the Journal of Law Teaching & Learning.
