Full Description
Becoming a Lawyer: Discovering and Defining Your Professional Persona addresses a range of attitudes and behaviors required to succeed—and flourish—in the legal profession. The book covers foundations of a robust and sustainable professional persona (achieving competence, habits, intelligence, and leadership); self-management—professionalism from the inside (mindset and dispositions, time management and organization, and wellbeing); and relationships - professionalism with the outside (working with others, talent management, and effective communication). With greater intentionality, each of us can become better and happier professionals.
This book is a perfect complement to law school efforts to comply with the American Bar Association's recent revision to Standard 303 requiring that law schools provide ample opportunities for students to develop their professional identity.
