Professionalism in the Trenches
Seasoned practitioners sometimes forget how it feels to be a newer attorney in a practice area. However, old habits and practices that we take for granted might surprise a newer attorney. Hear from two younger attorneys about their experiences of professionalism in the workers compensation bar. Discover what you are doing right, and where you could be improving your interactions with other attorneys.
