SUMMARY:Make your practice more client friendly with design thinking
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \nThe law is notoriously verbocentric and dense. And from the client’s perspective\, legal services are rarely delivered in a user-friendly way. Although design-driven businesses have been shown to outperform their competitors\, the legal profession has been slow to adopt good design principles. In this webinar\, we’ll explore not only how design can help lawyers differentiate their services\, but also how design can make legal work product itself clearer and more effective. Learn what “design thinking” is all about. Hint: it’s not just about graphic design. \nOur guest speaker – Alexandra Devendra. \nAlexandra Devendra is the founder of Devendra Design\, a legal design consultancy. She helps lawyers make their work product more effective using typography and other principles of visual communication design. Alix also consults for legal-tech startups\, who value her experience in both law practice and design thinking. She travels internationally to speak and facilitate workshops on legal design. \nAlix is also a co-founder of Shape the Law\, which organizes unconferences and other innovative programming for attorneys across the country. Its goal is to facilitate authentic\, honest conversations about the many challenges facing the legal profession.  \nBefore founding Devendra Design\, Alix practiced labor & employment law in San Francisco. She can be found at www.devendra.design and on Twitter (@alixdevendra). \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Across the line; Advocacy at U.S. ports of entry
DESCRIPTION:  \nFebruary 15\, 2017 – noon (PST)\nWhen it comes to legal advocacy\, United States ports of entry are an unfamiliar ballpark. There’re not even the same game.
