Course Description

This elective will explore the concept of Emotional Intelligence and its use in legal practices across all JAGC legal formations and echelons of command. This elective examines the critical skills that make up emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management, and how judge advocates can use these skills as leaders to build and maintain a healthy organizational culture. This elective will identify and discuss the leadership frictions and resulting tensions that exist in the context of administrative and civil law, national security law, contract and fiscal law, and criminal law.
