Many lawyers can’t answer two important questions: What do you want your practice to look like in the future? What is the current mission of your practice? Sometimes, as lawyers, we are so busy working with clients that we lose control of what is important to us, our practice, and the reason we became lawyers. Most of us became lawyers to ensure equal justice under the law. It is time to take back control of your practice and continue to strive for equal justice.
Our distinguished speakers will remind you of what is important to you in your practice and assist you in developing and fine-tuning your mission and value statement needed to help guide you and your practice in your quest for equal justice. Get answers for your questions about a mission and value statement that promotes equal justice and career fulfillment.
We encourage to submit your questions in advance so our speakers can tailor the presentation to your needs. Please submit your questions by September 18, 2024 to this email: cleinfo@staff.azbar.org.
Although this webinar will not include one-on-one assistance, our written materials will include guidance from speaker Allison C. Johs on how to prepare a mission statement.
