Abstract
Law school has traditionally ill-prepared law students to advise organizational clients, to advocate for corporate clients in a nonlitigation setting, or to counsel clients on ethical corporate governance. This Essay describes hoar transactional law clinics can utilize the "pitch "method, often seen in the context of entrepreneurial investment pitches and made popular through TV shows, in the clinic' client intake selection process. The pedagogical outcomes of this experiential intake method demonstrate hoar its use can teach law students how to advocate in the corporate setting, to think long-term and holistically about organizational client selection, and to foster a deeper understanding of the discourse and processes required to engage in ethical board governance.
