HOW CAN LEGAL PROFESSIONALS DEVELOP THEIR LAWYERING SKILLS FOR MODERN PRACTICE?

?

Some of the ways legal professionals can develop their lawyering skills for modern practice includes, but not limited to the following:

?Legal Education

Many aspects of education including legal education are driven by new market dynamics of demand and supply. The old adage remains that law is an instrument of social engineering, and the addendum is that lawyers are part and parcel of agents of social engineering resulting to change. Therefore legal education must diversify for Law, law students and lawyers to impact positively in today’s world. Legal education is the first point of discourse, reason being that it is the first point where a lawyer’s standard are set and the first opportunity for lawyers to develop some of the very important skills as enumerated in the earlier part of this work. The fact remains that things are changing and we now have new ways of doing things, it is in this regards that legal education has a very important role to play in making every lawyer. For instance, in areas such as legal research and analytics, ICT has innovatively revolutionized the way of practice by making these areas easy, seamless and more effective. A lot will be achieved if these new trends spurred by the rise of ICT are integrated in the curriculum of the faculty of law in universities and law schools.

?Mentorship

The significance of mentorship as a means of developing the lawyering skills of lawyers in modern practice cannot be overemphasized. Mentorship in this regards is either a one-on-one relationship between an experienced lawyer and another lawyer, law student, or potential law student, or it can be executed in a group setting. Put more succinctly, success in the legal profession is a moving target that expands with time, experience, and proper guidance. By learning from a legal mentor who has already tread the path you’re on, you can streamline and strengthen your personal and professional development as a lawyer. With the help of a mentor, a legal professional can learn new skills, set better goals, and build confidence in their career. Mentorship in legal practice has been an age long method of developing lawyering skills among lawyers. No matter how much a lawyer learns and no matter how much information a lawyer has access to, the only way to acquire some peculiar skills may be through mentorship.
