NJSBA Family Law Section

Hello Family Law Section members,

On Thursday, Sept. 5, NJICLE will present Communicating with Precision, Clarity & Persuasion: 7 Strategies Every Lawyer Must Master from 9 a.m. to 12:35 p.m. at the Westin, Mt. Laurel.

This program is designed for every lawyer, regardless of seniority, who desires to become a more confident, educated, and sophisticated communicator.

Mastering the art of communication includes presenting data and telling stories consistently, clearly, and precisely, no matter the forum. It cuts across our relationships with colleagues, staff, opposing counsel, judges, and arbitrators. It includes dealing with them whether they are being cooperative or contrary. It also includes being aware of exactly what we say, and what is being said about ourselves - both in person and online. Mastering the art of communication is critical to our reputations and our professional brands.

Join our experienced panel to learn the key tactics you need to know to communicate for success ...and sharpen your existing communication skills. Whether you are a new lawyer or a seasoned practitioner, you will leave this presentation with many new tools and a deeper appreciation for the art of communication which you can put into action immediately.
