Moderator: Marc Jonas, Esq. & Bernadette Kearney, Esq.
Speaker: Michael Heller & James Salzman
Michael Heller, the Lawrence A. Wien, Professor of Real Estate Law at Columbia Law School and James Salzman, the Donald Bren Distinguished Professor of Environmental Law at the UCLA School of Law, will discuss their book "Mine: How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives". According to the authors, "by the time we grow up, the idea of ownership seems natural, whether we are buying a cup of coffee or a house. But who controls the space behind your airplane seat: you reclining or the squished laptop user behind you? Why does HBO look the other way when you illegally borrow a password to stream their shows? And after a snowstorm, why does a chair in the street hold your parking space in Chicago, but in New York you lose the space and the chair?"

This comprehensive presentation will draw on the experiences of 3-4 MBA Leadership Academy graduates, who will introduce and describe various practice tips for younger attorneys. The seminar will cover a number of areas essential to a successful legal practice that aren't usually taught in law school, including business and client development, mastering client and colleague interaction, internal marketing, proactivity, maintaining a work life balance, getting work you want, and more. The presenters will draw on their own real-life examples to demonstrate behavior and practices that lead to a more productive career, and conversely, those which tend to increase stress and anxiety among younger attorneys.
