My law school experience revolved around the concepts of critical thinking, black letter law and learning how to navigate procedure. While these are all very important to master and at the heart of what attorneys are tasked to accomplish, once I entered the workforce I quickly realized that I was not prepared with the necessary training relating to the technological and operational side of legal practice.
The transformative properties of new technology have altered the way today’s attorneys handle day-to-day operations and created new demand for alternative skills. However, many attorneys still graduate from law school without learning the skills now needed to perform the operational functions of their job.
