The Evolution of Lawyer Competence in the New Normal

Description:

Tennessee lawyers -- especially those at small firms -- are finding the new normal to be a challenging place to practice. New economic realities, greater competition from non-traditional service providers, advances in technology, increasing risks and threats to client information -- are all creating disruptions to the legal profession.

Logic suggests, and reality confirms, that those law firms struggling to compete in this quickly changing legal market will face economic pressures that will expose them to disciplinary action or worse. To survive, lawyers must embrace a philosophy of continual learning to acquire the business knowledge and skills needed to be successful as the legal industry continues to evolve. This course will help you plot your course now and begin working toward being the competent lawyer you want to be in the new normal.

This was very informative. It should be a must read for many lawyers. Small Firms led the way with being creative at the inception of the commercialization of the internet, however, apart from advertising, many Firms, small and large do not seem to grasp the new normal.

I would like to see courses discussing some specifics including alternative pricing. I see many West Coast firms and some in Nashville moving to gross receipts pricing which is being resisted by clients.

Very useful CLE with the changing world around us.

Good info but a little thin. Went over twice.

It's always a good idea to review the Rules on lawyer competence.

Excellent reminder of what competency is and what we must pay attention to.
