Business of Being a Lawyer faculty will spend Friday talking with students about economic trends in the legal market and strategies for adapting to the changes ahead.
BBL speakers share their time and experience, as well as provide practical and candid advice so that students will thrive in the legal profession.
The Business of Being a Lawyer is based on the premise that each lawyer is a business – her own business. Whether working for a law firm or in solo practice, in a public interest or government office, or in a law-related field, lawyers need to understand their own balance sheets – their assets, liabilities, strengths, weaknesses, investments made in themselves, and investments needed.
