Learning to be Successful in Law: Knowing, Doing and Being
In this session, the authors of The New Lawyer present their innovative approach to educating the complete lawyer. According to their model, anyone seeking to be a successful lawyer needs to know certain things, needs be able to do certain things… and needs to be a certain type of person. The ‘knowing’ includes understanding the realities of life as a lawyer in 2022. The ‘doing’ includes legal research skills, interpretation skills, thinking skills, communication and collaboration skills and self-management skills. And the ‘being’ includes being realistic, being committed to justice, being ethical and being future-ready.
