Solo Practice

More than 400 have already signed up to follow the construction progress of Solo Practice University - the 'practice of law' school.  And I thank you.  For those who have not, here is your first sneak peak into the curriculum:

Thanks for joining us as we continue construction on Solo Practice University.

So, what is the promise of Solo Practice University? Solo Practice University is a revolutionary, state of the art web-based educational community and networking forum for lawyers and law students unlike anything you may have seen. This sounds like a tall order but we are going to deliver.

Imagine the following:

You are part of an on-line continuing legal educational community devoted to the solo practitioner where you can learn (in no particular order) how to:

• create a virtual law office (vlo)
• conduct a deposition
• build a family law practice
• buy the best software and hardware that?s right for your practice today and tomorrow
• market your services overseas
• select a jury
• avoid (or deal with) grievances
• create a contract lawyering business
• buy the right insurances and the right amount of insurance
• buy the right time management, accounting software programs, web-based client-management tools
• become an employment lawyer
• use virtual assistants effectively
• ?un?- shingle when the time is right
• determine the best legal entity for your practice
• network to bring in your ideal client
• get and keep good clients
• juggle the demands of work and life
• create alternative billing to the billable hour
• deal with the media on a high profile case
• create a web presence that actually brings in business
• navigate the ins and outs of trust accounts
• construct a criminal defense
• become an entertainment lawyer

and so much more?.

It?s your campus where you will learn from the best?.and not just from the best in the legal industry but from across many professions .

This is not law school. This is the ?practice of law? school. This is the nuts and bolts; the real ?how to? on making a living as a a solo practitioner straight from those who make a profit in the trenches.

That?s right. You will be taught by many real live solo and big law practitioners, skilled marketers, consultants, web designers, prosecutors, adjunct professors, and authors who are the best at what they do, not just one per field, but many in each field all with credentialed expertise.

And it?s all in one environment?.one URL. It is audio. It is video. It?s live. It?s interactive?. and always fresh. It?s continuing legal education (without the credits, at least for now) from the comfort of your home, office, or car in real time or on your own time.

This is the promise of Solo Practice University. A career-long practical education they could never nor would ever deliver in law school.
