In Fundamentals of Lawyer Leadership: A Skills Guide to Professional Identity Formation, we explore the aspects of leadership and professional identity formation that take root and begin to grow while students are in law school and throughout their lifelong journey as practicing attorneys and professionals. We like to describe professional identity and its formation as the process of becoming a complete lawyer; however, honing the skill sets of a complete lawyer takes time and study. Just as developing legal skills is a life-long endeavor, growing as a leader is a process that evolves over a lifetime.

Inside the Mind of a Mediator: Strategic Conflict Intervention by Liora Paniz, an essential tool for all matters involving any form of negotiation, combines traditional mediation concepts, a modern perspective, and creative practice opportunities to enable the reader to apply conflict intervention in new and strategic ways vital to thinking like a mediator and mediating skillfully.

The Sixth Edition of Essential Lawyering Skills: Interviewing, Counseling, Negotiation, and Persuasive Fact Analysis continues to emphasize the role of the attorney in the lawyer-client relationship. Widely respected practitioners and teachers, the authors’ introductions, visual aids, and realistic examples illuminate the basic mechanics of these key skills. Case situations and problem-solving scenarios engage students in developing essential lawyering skills that mirror legal practice.The topic of professional responsibility is integrated throughout.

Lastly, bundle includes Productizing Legal Work: Providing Legal Expertise at Scale, First Edition. For millions of Americans, creating an estate plan no longer involves a high-priced attorney. Instead, they can log into LegalZoom and get the job done for a fraction of the cost. The same goes for filing a tax return: no need for a CPA, TurboTax can do it for you! At the heart of these tools (productized services) is a technique for converting work that has traditionally been done by a professional for a limited number of clients to work that can be shared, licensed or sold to a much wider audience (usually through the use of online or specialized software technologies). People create productized services in order to help more people and create new revenue streams. Consumers, in turn, get access to valuable services at lower cost. While creating productized services was once challenging and expensive, a new generation of facilitating tools enable any enterprising person - including law students and lawyers – to productize services with greater ease than ever before. This book unpacks the concept and impact of productizing services and provides a step-by-step introduction to the process of productizing legal work.
