    Using Computer Savvy to Build Workplace Relationships

    By Alexander V. Batoff | July 12, 2017

    Turning Common Career Mistakes and Setbacks Into Opportunities

    By Malcolm J. Ingram | July 5, 2017

    No matter how much success you ­experience in your legal career, inevitably at some point you will encounter a setback and make mistakes. Whether the setback is not passing the bar exam in your law firm's jurisdiction, missing a key argument in a brief, or blowing a litigation deadline, these mistakes don't have to define your legal career. A setback is the perfect opportunity to take a moment and reflect on how the setback occurred and what you can do to catapult your career forward. As I said in my previous article "Taking Control of Your Legal Career as a First-Year Associate," published April 5 in The Legal, failure precedes success and becoming a great lawyer is a marathon, not a sprint.

    By Dena Lefkowitz | June 28, 2017

    If you are reading this, you are probably an investigator. It may not be your job title, but if you are a lawyer, auditor, doctor, HR business partner, manager, executive, etc., a big part of your job is investigatory, requiring you to arrive at well-reasoned, fact-based, modern decisions, guidance or recommendations. You regularly make searching, systematic inquiries based on examination of relevant facts, data and information. How do you determine what is relevant when you investigate? It's likely that you unconsciously select or rely too heavily on information you already agree with and pay little or no attention to data that conflicts with your beliefs.
