TechnoFeature: How Small Law Firms Can Rescue the Next Generation of Lawyers by Thinking Outside the Legal Job Box

By Sara Skiff | Tuesday, February 22, 2011

Coming today to TechnoFeature: The next generation of lawyers risks becoming a lost generation. With poorer job prospects and more debt than any previous generation, today's law students may not obtain the skills they need in an increasingly complex world that will give rise to challenging and novel legal issues. For most, hanging out a shingle is not an option given the competition from far more experienced downsized lawyers starting their own solo practices (BigSolos). In this TechnoFeature, 2012 Seton Hall JD/MBA candidate Frank Gonnello Jr. explains how small law firms can step up and save his generation — not through traditional associate jobs but through less expensive quasi-legal jobs that law students and recent graduates are uniquely qualified to handle, and that can help these savvy small firms boost their revenue in the process.

This Writing Tip Will Help You Become a Better and More Successful Lawyer

By Sara Skiff | Tuesday, February 15, 2011

Coming today to TechnoFeature: Many lawyers write poorly. However, the blame lies not with them, but with their teachers in elementary school, high school, college, and law school. If our teachers possessed exceptional writing skills, they would pursue more lucrative careers such as copywriting, screenwriting, litigating, etc. — a conundrum. Fortunately, you and your colleagues can improve your writing skills dramatically by reading this TechnoFeature article written by lawyer and law firm writer-in-residence C. Edward Good. Originally published on December 17, 2002 in a newsletter of ours that no longer exists, most of you have never read it before. Ed's writing tip will give your law firm a competitive advantage that your adversaries will never figure out for themselves.
