Session 1: Ted Lasso Ethics -  Five lessons lawyers should learn from Ted Lasso. Session 2:  How Smart People Deal with Difficult People -  In these polarizing times, we must rely on intelligence when interacting with difficult others. We'll discuss the science behind avoiding contempt, recognizing motive attribution asymmetry, and learning to coexist with disagreement so that we can behave ethically—even when we don't feel like it. Session 3: Readable Legal Writing - Creating readable legal writing requires several techniques: accessible format, clear organization, manageable sentences, and correct mechanics. This presentation addresses each of those briefly, offering current recommendations and best practices. Session 4: Dr. Strangehearing, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Virtual Proceeding - Are you “zoomed” out yet? Hear from state and federal judges on the role, if any, they see for virtual hearings or trials in a post-COVID legal world.
