CO LPC Jurisprudence · Put your knowledge to work in context.

The Colorado LPC Jurisprudence assessment is the jurisprudence component that Colorado Legal Practice Course students complete alongside the skills curriculum. It tests whether a new lawyer can apply the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct and the surrounding regulatory framework to realistic practice situations, rather than recite rule numbers. It is aimed at candidates who have finished or are finishing their LPC coursework and need to demonstrate command of Colorado-specific professional responsibility before licensure. Content spans the rules governing the lawyer-client relationship and conflicts, confidentiality and privilege, the structure of the Colorado Supreme Court and the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel, trust accounting and client funds, advertising and fees, Colorado civil procedure fundamentals, professionalism and the Attorney's Oath, and unauthorized practice, pro bono, and access to justice. The CO LPC Jurisprudence case studies are 5 cases and about 3,932 words.
