Introducing Practice Builder–Helpful Wisdom and Insights for Maine’s New Attorneys
Torts. Property. Con Law. Legal Writing. Internships. And the “hits keep coming.” Let’s face it, future attorneys learn a lot during law school. From understanding how to “read” and “speak” the language of the law to moot court and experiential learning. Many young future attorneys graduate with confidence in their abilities.
But soon, as reality sets in and the supportive structure of the classroom fades away, every young attorney experiences moments of self-doubt. Because, while law school does a good job preparing the next generation of lawyers, some things can only be taught in the “real world.”
Often, young legal professionals “cut their teeth” and “take their lumps” en route to long and successful careers. But wouldn’t it be better if there were a reliable resource for young attorneys to get answers to the questions they feel like they should know, but have been afraid, ashamed, or too embarrassed to ask? We think so!
