Event Announcement - Hit the Ground Running: Practical Skills You Need to Succeed

On February 7, 2008, the Law Student Project of the Women's Bar Association of D.C.  Initiative on Advancement and Retention of Women is hosting a day-long practical skills session entitled Hit the Ground Running:  Practical Skills You Need to Succeed.  For registration information, please click on this link.

This event will provide 3Ls with the tools necessary to hit the ground running when they begin legal practice.   New research shows that this type of practical skills training is necessary because women lawyers have just 12 weeks to develop the relationships necessary for success when they begin their legal careers.  Moreover, the WBA Initiative's groundbreaking reports, Creating Pathways to Success (2006) and Pathways to Success for All (2008) stressed certain keys to success - effective self-promotion and communication skills, development of mentoring relationships both within the workplace and the legal community at large, and networking skills - that women lawyers traditionally learn too late in their careers for them to have an impact.
