MIE's Supervising Legal Work
With our community always facing significant recruitment and retention challenges, strong supervision and management skills are a must. This specially targeted Supervising Legal Work training meets these challenges head-on, outlining effective strategies for maximizing staff potential and skill-sets - in a real life legal services context. Make giving feedback a more potent tool; further cultivate the professional development of new advocates; develop new management approaches that recognize the intricacies of legal work - all of this and more, from a training designed to benefit not just those attending, but all of their colleagues as well.
