​

12. Disclaimer and Scope of Services

 

Leslie Juvin-Acker is a parent, spouse of over 18 years, homeowner, and a financially independent, bi-racial woman in business. She recognizes that numerous personal and professional factors can influence a student’s law school experience, and conversely, that law school can impact various aspects of a student’s life. Through coaching, Leslie aims to discuss strategies for optimizing your life while navigating the demands of law school.

 

It is important to note that Leslie does not diagnose, treat, or provide therapy for any diseases or psychological conditions. She is not a licensed therapist or medical professional and does not offer services that should be construed as medical or psychological counseling. Should any issues pertaining to physical or mental health arise, Leslie may advise consulting a licensed healthcare provider or appropriate professional.

 

Leslie’s coaching focuses on present circumstances, behaviors, and attitudes that influence current performance. Law school performance coaching is intended to provide support and strategies for academic and personal success and should not be confused with therapeutic or psychological counseling.

​

Acceptance of Terms

By booking and participating in a coaching session, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms of Service.

​

Scope of Service and Limitation of Liabililty

Law school performance coaching can be highly beneficial, but there are limitations to what it can achieve.

 

Here are some things that law school performance coaching **cannot** do for students:

 

1. Provide Legal or Academic Advice:

  - Coaching cannot substitute for legal instruction, tutoring, or academic advising. It does not offer specific legal knowledge, guidance on course content, or help with writing papers and assignments in the way a professor or tutor would.

 

2. Guarantee Grades or Academic Success:

  - While coaching can enhance study skills and strategies, it cannot guarantee high grades or academic success. Individual effort, comprehension, and exam performance are ultimately up to the student.

 

3. Diagnose or Treat Mental Health Conditions:

  - Coaching is not therapy. It cannot diagnose, treat, or provide therapeutic support for mental health issues such as depression, anxiety disorders, or other psychological conditions. Students in need of mental health care should seek licensed professionals like psychologists or psychiatrists.

 

4. Make Decisions for Students:

  - Coaching helps students clarify their goals and options, but it cannot make decisions for them. Students are ultimately responsible for making their own choices regarding academic paths, career directions, and personal matters.

 

5. Resolve Personal or Legal Issues:

  - Coaching cannot intervene in or resolve personal conflicts, legal disputes, or issues such as family problems or financial crises. Coaches may provide support or refer students to appropriate resources, but they cannot directly resolve these situations.

 

6. Replace Professional Services:

  - Coaching cannot replace other professional services such as career counseling, academic advising, legal advice, or medical care. Each of these areas requires specialized expertise that coaching does not provide.

 

7. Control External Factors:

  - Coaching cannot change external circumstances, such as the rigor of law school, institutional policies, or personal life challenges. It can only help students develop strategies to manage these factors more effectively.

 

8. Provide Immediate Solutions:

  - Coaching is a process-oriented approach focused on long-term growth and development. It cannot provide quick fixes or immediate solutions to deeply ingrained habits, attitudes, or performance issues.

 

9. Guarantee Job Placement:

  - Coaching can support career planning and job search strategies, but it cannot guarantee job placement or career success. Market conditions, employer decisions, and individual performance all play significant roles in career outcomes.

 

10. Address Academic Misconduct:

  - Coaching cannot help students engage in or justify academic dishonesty, plagiarism, or any form of misconduct. It promotes ethical behavior and integrity in all aspects of academic and professional life.

 

Understanding these limitations ensures that students have realistic expectations and use law school performance coaching as a complementary tool to enhance their law school experience, rather than as a solution for all challenges.
