As lawyers, we often get so caught up in our day-to-day challenges that we forget the importance of balance in our personal and professional lives. The more effective we are in balancing our careers and personal commitments, the better we can serve the needs of our clients. With that in mind, it is my pleasure to announce the availability of The Complete Lawyer: an online magazine for members. Members who have provided the Association with an email address will have issues sent electronically every other month.
With The Complete Lawyer, NYSBA members now have a new, accessible resource to help guide their careers and help you thrive with tips on communications skills, marketing and business development, relationships and health. Along with regular features on these subjects and more, each issue of The Complete Lawyer tackles an important topic confronting lawyers today.
The November/December issue focuses on “Viewing The Law In 2020.” Four futurists share their opinions about what the profession and the lives of lawyers may look like in the year 2020. In brief: the Knowledge Revolution will make you much healthier; law practices will be far more collaborative; the pace of change will only accelerate; and the rapid growth of Alzheimer’s in adults and autism in children will break the healthcare system unless effective cures or treatments are found.
I am confident you will find these and other articles in this edition of TCL compelling and even surprising. Take the time to explore our newest member benefit - The Complete Lawyer. It will be time well spent. And as always, I would love to hear your opinions about this new source of information.
