Description

This talk should change your life. No small feat, but that's the goal. This program will help you understand where your sense of "overwhelm" is coming from, how the practice of the law makes it inevitable, and what you can do about it. The practice of law is toxic, but that toxicity is related to how we feel we have to "get things done." What if you could change that?

As a solo or an associate, there are only so many resources around you, but understanding how to create new tools, how to shift your law practice paradigm, and how to protect yourself are key to avoiding burn out (or recognizing that you are burning out, and doing something about it). You will be introduced to some agile project management techniques that you can implement immediately, as well as principles and approaches to change the way you see the practice of law. We will also cover the three pillars of the Livable Law legal project management method: tasks, time, and things.
