Members of the Massachusetts bar should aim for the highest level of
professionalism in relationships with clients, colleagues, parties,
administrative entities, and the courts. The first years of practicing law are a
critical time in the development of professional habits and character. To help
foster this transition, the fellows of the 2023 MBA’s Leadership Academy invite
you to participate in the Transition into Practice Program Series (“TIPs”).
The Fellows designed the series to provide transitional support to newly
admitted attorneys and soon to be graduating law students to help acquire
practical skills and judgment necessary to practice at the highest level.
The six-part TIPs series will cover a wide array of topics including:
- Practical Tips for New Lawyers
- Managing Client Expectations
- Dealing with Difficult Clients
- Avoiding Burnout
- Oral Advocacy Tips
- What to do When you Make a Mistake
All programs are free and will help make a smooth entry into the practice of
law.
This program was hosted using Zoom.
