Building the lawyer of the future — from jordanfurlong.substack.com by Jordan Furlong
Here’s my latest “Future Lawyer Starter Kit.” Tell me what you think.
Building upon this knowledge foundation, I suggest that future lawyers should develop the following ten human competencies (through a completely overhauled education, training, and licensing process, but that’s a topic for another day):
- Acting ethically
- Advocating and negotiating
- Demonstrating character
- Displaying empathy
- Exercising judgment
- Giving advice
- Reasoning legally
- Relating with people
- Resolving conflicts
- Solving problems
