Business Development Success For New Attorneys, Friday, 2/26, 2pm HOL 180 (all classes welcome)
Learning how to bring in new business is arguably one of the most important aspects of preparing to practice law. Julie Fleming’s program will give graduating students a strong foundation in how to identify, and bring in their ideal clients and provide
1L’s and 2L’s with a greater understanding of law firm economics and firm expectations in the practice of law. Julie Fleming’s 2009 book The Reluctant Rainmaker: A Guide for Lawyers Who Hate Selling, illuminates the connection between practicing law and growing a “book of business.” Attendees will leave the program with an understanding of how to build a solid reputation, relationships that will lead to business, and how to identify and engage their ideal clients. Ms. Flemming’s website is: www.lifeatthebar.com and she is offering a drawing for a free copy of her book.
