Learning from Lawyers
In a guest post on Notes from the (Legal) Underground, Matt Homann, offers Five Indispensable Tips for Law Students and New Lawyers. Homann is an Illinois lawyer, a part-time Pretrial teacher at Wash U., and author of the [non]billable hour—in other words, he speaks from a lot of experience.
Law students could also learn a great deal from the [non]billable hour's regular feature, Five By Five, which poses a different question each week or two to five knowledgeable people in a specific area of law and collects all of their responses for easy reading. Like Blawg Wisdom, Five By Five is an advice or knowledge aggregator, but with more specific focus according to the question of each edition. Questions thus far have included:
- What are the five worst mistakes a lawyer can make (or the five best things a lawyer can do) when marketing to a potential female client?
- If you had the power to change five things about the practice of law, what would you change?
- Reader's Edition (responses to the above question from readers)
- What five things can lawyers do to better serve entrepreneurs and their businesses?
- What five new technologies should all lawyers incorpoate into their practices, but probably won't?
