Transform Legal Workflows by Properly Using Calendars, Weekly Lineups, and Understanding Why Time is so Hard to Manage!
In the demanding world of legal practice, the traditional emphasis on billable hours has led to inefficiencies, burnout, and a compromised firm culture. This course introduces the Livable Law Method, a revolutionary approach that prioritizes people, processes, and agile techniques. Dive into the intricacies of managing litigation, explore the pillars of task, time, and resource management, and discover strategies to combat burnout. By integrating legal project management and efficient communication tools, participants will learn to optimize their practice, ensuring a more balanced, efficient, and livable legal profession.
I am a former litigator, having spent thirteen years trying cases both in federal and state courts around the country. I graduated law school in 2008, and my career includes five years in Big Law, several years at plaintiffs’ firm (including False Claims Act cases, sexual assault, civil rights, and commercial litigation cases), as well as running my own social justice law firm, representing victims of domestic violence in family law matters. I have been in the thick of it, from difficult depositions to unbearable opposing counsel to complex briefs. I’ve been there when my clients’ well-being, safety, and vindication were on the line. I am also a Legal Project Manager, a Certified eDiscovery Specialist, a CIPP/E attorney, and a space lawyer. I created the Livable Law Method because this profession has to get better, and it won't get better if we keep doing the same things over and over again. So here is what I propose: I want to change your life. If we implemented basic legal project management tools, we would be miles ahead in improving attorney wellbeing, retaining diverse attorneys, and reducing burnout. Are you ready for the great uncrushing?
