Law’s Five Challenges to Thriving: And How to Thrive Anyway

Thriving Lawyers Institute (http://bit.ly/k3GT35) has just launched the first two distance learning courses aimed at helping lawyers understand and master the unique challenges to thriving presented by the practice of law. And we are offering a $49 Launch Special  (after registering, select “Special Offers” in the Course Catalog). Great deal for attorneys in Illinois and Rhode Island needing credit by the end of the MCLE year! (Also approved in TN; other states in process.)

These courses are highly interactive with custom-developed interactivity features not found in other distance learning MCLE courses.

Law’s Five Challenges to Thriving: Many law students start to lose their thriving edge in the first few months of law school. This trend continues in practice where the well-being of lawyers is strikingly low compared to other professions. Why? This course pulls from multiple sources of cutting edge research to both explain a unique set of challenges faced by lawyers and give practical steps lawyers can implement immediately to get more of what they want out of life and the practice of law. We’re talking the foundation of professionalism here!

IL – 1.75 hours general including 1.75 hours professionalism credit.

NY - 1.75 hours

RI – 1.5 hours including 1.5 hours ethics credit

TN – 1.75 hours dual credit (counts toward either General or E/P requirement)

TX - 1.75 hours, incluing 1.75 hours of ethics

Flexible & Accurate Thinking for Lawyers: A foundational skill for a more resilient, thriving oriented approach to practice and life – and one that may be uniquely valuable to lawyers – is flexible and accurate thinking. In many cases, for lawyers this will mean more realistic optimism, but the focus is always on flexibility and accuracy.

IL – 1.5 hours general including 1.5 hours professionalism credit.

NY - 1.5 hours

RI – 1.5 hours including 1.5 hours ethics credit

TN – 1.5 hours dual credit (counts toward either General or E/P requirement)

TX - currently not accredited because it is a "personal development" course - we're still working on it!
