Law Practice Management

New lawyers may be surprised to learn that the practice of law is not only a profession, but also a business.  For a solo practitioner or a small firm practitioner, this may seem overwhelming, as practice management skills may be overlooked in law school.  This course explores the ways and means of managing a law office practice to provide services to small business clients, consistent with best practices and professional ethics, including study of marketing, management, technology, and finance.  Special attention is given to the use of emerging technologies for the solo and small firm practitioner in compliance with ethical obligations.
