Yep, sometimes I appear in-person and verbalize my “observations” live. So, like The Connected Lawyer, here’s looking forward to some ‘face time’ over the upcoming weeks…
1. First, modifying a line from the 1989 flick Field of Dreams, our topic, Websites: If I Build It Will They Come? at the ISBA Solo & Small Firm Conference this Thursday, October 22nd (3:10 p.m.) in Springfield. My colleague Alan Press (An Attorney and a CPA!) and I will run through some beginner/intermediate level guidance on basic Web design, turning Web visitors into clients, and shifting repetive tasks from your secretary to your Website. I was a tad slow in getting going on this but now I think I have some good things to say. Plus, I’m looking forward to that Friday night reception at the Old State Capital (What’s the ISBA going to do once this Lincoln bi-centenial is over?).
2. And Saturday, November 21st at Northwestern’s Law School, Ms. JD’s 3rd Annual Avenues to Advancement conference I’m moderating a distinguished panel entitled, Paths to Independence: Starting & Building Your Solo Practice. I was just at NU last week for the ARDC’s CLE (post to come) and it’s fun to be just off the Mag Mile and there’s a great view of Lake Michigan too. Myself excluded, there are really some impressive panelists on my program and across the conference. Yet as one of like only 5 male panelists, I must admit I can’t help thinking back to Alex P. Keaton on a Family Ties episode where he goes to jail to impress a girl he was pursuing exclaiming, “Today, I am a woman.” Sign-up here.
