Efforts are underway to gain a fresh and reasoned understanding of the qualities and skills required to excel as a lawyer in today’s legal landscape. Notably, the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System (IAALS) has initiated a ‘major update’ to its comprehensive 2014 survey. This time, the institute has partnered with the Law School Admission Council.
The revised survey aims to reach out to thousands of attorneys across the country. The primary goal of this endeavour is to gain diverse and up-to-date perspective on what it means to be a successful lawyer in the current fast-paced and demanding legal ecosystem. It’s a significant endeavor that could potentially shape the way lawyers are trained and professional growth is facilitated within law firms and corporations globally.
More detailed insights and findings from this ambitious project will be eagerly awaited by legal professionals, law educators, and law students alike, who are arguably the most affected by any evolutionary shifts in the legal profession.
