Description

Organizations are working harder than ever to ensure that every employee is fully invited to participate. At the same time, non-traditional students are graduating from law schools eager to leverage life-long learning into successful legal careers. Is the old model of “we’ll teach you to think” still valid or is it time for a new point of view.

This seminar will identify ways new lawyers and firms can take advantage of valuable life skills from life experience to help the entire enterprise.
