Description

Sponsored by the Leadership Academy and the Standing Committee on Well-being in the Profession

The moderators and panelists will discuss the differences and disconnects between attorneys from different generations and how these things affect the practice of law. We will cover ageism in the workplace, attorneys’ reservations or eagerness to utilize progressive technology in the practice of law, and how different generations of attorneys implement a healthy work-life balance.

Learning objectives:

  • When multiple generations work together, the legal profession can harness multiple levels of experience, skill, and perspective that better serve the public and our clients.
  • Beware that labeling people based on their generation is an over-simplification.
  • Commit to periodic self-reflection and learning of your own biases.
