Solo Practice

Solo Offerings for Solos: Marketing Listserve (Free) & Solo Boot Camp in Maryland

Here are a couple of items of interest for practicing and aspiring solos.  First, California lawyer and  The Practice Blog author, Jon Stein is accepting new members  to a newly created Solo Lawyer Marketing List Serve.  So how do I know that this is a list worth joining?  Well, I've been a member of  a smaller (well, if you can call 200 small!) marketing list that Jon's been running for more than a year, and it's produced a steady stream of marketing ideas as well as direct feedback from folks like Mark Britton of Avvo.com and input from marketing luminaries like Ben Glass.  Jon's promising that his new list will offer all that and more.  Best of all, it's absolutely free.

Here's the protocol for joining:

If you're interested in other aspects of solo practice besides marketing, you may want to consider Maryland-based Sonya Smith Valentine's Solo Boot Camp, a practical, nuts-and-bolts seminar on starting a law practice.  Sonya is a veteran speaker of Maryland State Bar Association events and she has a killer cache of forms which she includes in the cost of the bootcamp.  The next scheduled course is September 20 -- visit this link for information on availability and future courses.
