WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

Becoming an attorney is just the beginning.
This program prepares you for what’s next:

  • What are firms looking for in an associate?
  • What is expected of you as a professional?
  • How can you make sure you never get a call from Attorney Regulation?
  • What trial tactics should you know about before you ever step into court?
  • How can you write effectively to get results for your client?
  • What should you do (and avoid) when addressing the courts?
.
In this economy, it’s more important than ever to be able to hit the ground running. Law school prepares you to think like a lawyer, but it doesn’t always prepare you to actually be a lawyer.  

If you’re a young lawyer or a recent grad, you’re probably just beginning to learn there’s a lot you don’t know… yet.

This conference will get you on the right track and allow you to provide your clients with the best service you can, whether you’re navigating your new role as an associate, tackling your first trial, or filing your first brief.

When you arrive at the conference, look around. You’ll be surrounded by the future of Colorado’s legal community. We understand how important this is so we build in networking breaks throughout the day to let you start building the relationships that are vital to a successful legal career. You’ll also get a free pass to a post-conference networking event, which includes a screening of Class Action, an ethics presentation by DBA President John Baker, refreshments and more networking!
