		<title>Re-Run: Tell Associates How to Get Ahead</title>

		<title>Bridge the Gap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Miami Herald published an article called Meeting in the Middle on which the ABA Journal commented Friday. While it is easy for any professional to view other generations and their differences with criticism, together, these articles discuss how generations of attorneys can work together effectively and bring out the best in one another.  What [...]]]></description>

		<title>Re-Run: Team Spirit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the first two entries, I discussed my experience taking a new associate to a conference and a couple of the specific goals.  However, in a broader sense, bringing this new attorney to an event was an important step in fostering team spirit.  If I want a new attorney to feel that we are in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Re-Run: Socializing or Networking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the last entry, I began to discuss my experience taking a first-year associate to a trial advocacy conference put on by DRI Young Lawyers.  One reason I felt this conference was so valuable was the numerous opportunities for socializing with other attendees.  I have found that almost every conference presents this opportunity. She and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Re-Run: Supplementing In-House Training</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am grateful for the newer associates currently at our firm.  They all show great potential and are all pleasant to work with.

		<title>My Favorite Class: How to Be a Supervising Attorney</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Jerri Johnson
Just kidding.  There was no such class in my law school, and I would bet there was not one in your law school either.  Where and how, then, do we learn how to manage our new attorneys?  It seems to me there are two common ways: (1) from the managing attorney in our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Training Beyond the File Is Important Too</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Forwarding a Web Link is NOT Lazy.
I recently came across an article on marketing for young lawyers, published in The Whisper by DRI’s Young Lawyers section.
http://www.imakenews.com/younglaw/e_article001041254.cfm?x=bckkrH5,b8mfC5J2
I quickly forwarded the link to our firm’s associates to read at their leisure.  Passing along this article certainly took less time than a discussion on the topic with each [...]]]></description>

		<title>Part IV: Advice for the New Associate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whether your new job is in a large firm or with a sole practitioner, you will have one or more attorneys who, whether they accept it or not, will be training you in the practice of law.  Make yourself indispensable to your supervising attorney(s.)  We encourage new associates to take on as much responsibility as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Part III: Training New Associates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Jerri Johnson
Teaching a Pig to Sing
“It wastes your time, and it annoys the pig.” Thankfully, these attorneys are even rarer than the Eves, and usually, you can spot and avoid hiring the attorney who has no interest in learning how to be a litigator. One clue may be an attorney who asks in the [...]]]></description>
