NEW PRACTICE MANAGEMENT & SKILLS BUILDING CLASSES

These new classes address topics like creating and using metrics to establish yourself and your department’s worth, project management techniques for lawyers, and best practices and techniques for managing outside counsel. You also will not want to miss our new workshops that will improve your negotiation skills and teach you how to mediate disputes.
