The University of Alabama School of Law is pleased to announce the Business of Being a Lawyer program.
The online video series addresses four topics: (1) economic trends in the legal profession and steps to adapt to the changes, (2) personal financial planning issues relevant to the lives of lawyers, (3) the science of emotional intelligence including managing stress, maintaining balance and building resilience in the practice of law, and (4) how to be an effective “free agent” in the legal profession of the future in light of the fact that the average lawyer changes jobs seven times in a career.
“BBL helps today’s lawyers develop the skills they are not likely to be taught in law school or necessarily develop in practice,’’ said Professor Pamela Bucy Pierson, who developed the program during the past four years working with over 200 practicing attorneys and dozens of law students. “To enjoy the practice of law and succeed in an ever-changing industry, lawyers need these skills.”
Engaging and practical, this online video series provides 14 individual programs relevant to every attorney, law student or CLE provider. Visit CLEalabama.com/BBL for more information or to register.
