About this Program

Harlan York – attorney, Lawline faculty, and author of the brand new critically acclaimed book “Three Degrees of Law” – explores the various considerations attorneys face in the practice of law.
This program provides attorneys with the tools needed to find success and happiness in the law and ultimately become a better practitioner. Whether you are a new lawyer, mid-career, or a veteran practitioner, the long hours and grueling work can wear down any person. Harlan will reveal how having a legal mind comes with certain talents that can be applied to positively assist in raising happiness, success and professionalism.
Happiness, Success and Professionalism in the Law: 5 Things Every Practitioner Should Know will present five main ideas that can be gained from a legal education and how those concepts can and should be applied to every facet of a licensed attorney’s life. It will discuss the important rules of professional conduct associated with those concepts, and discuss daily ways to practice better.
Harlan will discuss the ways that enthusiasm and devotion to one area can help attorneys continue to practice ethically, resulting in not only a more professional approach, but a more satisfying one. Finally, Mr. York will discuss the ways that gender bias in the workplace have affected the legal profession and ways that each practitioner can ensure employee fairness, regardless of gender.
