DESCRIPTION
Avoiding Legal Vampires: Lessons From Dracula
Attorneys often get entangled with clients, cases, judges, and other lawyers that just seem to suck the life out of us. Learn to avoid, overcome and disempower these and other vampires in your practice with lessons drawn from Dracula, a novel that begins with young British solicitor Jonathan Harker traveling to Transylvania to meet a new client...
This program explores how to maintain one's vitality and to recognize the early signs of those events and situations that may diminish us. Our own personal ethics and professional ethics may be our strongest power. We will consider common strategies for extricating ourselves from unhealthy cases and clients and, perhaps, to overcome and transform them.
