A Tallahassee law firm is giving prospective future lawyers an in-depth look at the profession. The Ausley McMullen firm recently hosted nearly 20 young people for its initial day-long “Law and Leadership” session. Among the presenters was Marty Sipple, a firm shareholder and part of the leadership team. He explained the event’s purpose.<\/p>\n
“To try and give them some stuff that they don’t learn in law school. A little more of a practical viewpoint of the law and what it means to be a day-to-day lawyer. Hopefully that will inform their decision about their career before they sign up for law school. So we’re trying to point them in the right direction.”<\/p>\n
Another crucial part of the program, he said, is to show those considering a law career how important that job is to society in general.<\/p>\n
“The way people used to resolve disputes was walk 5 paces, turn and fire. This is a MUCH better way to resolve disputes the way we do it in America. So we always need problem solvers in a civil way to resolve disputes.”<\/p>\n
Besides hearing from firm partners and associates, the students also visited the courthouse, spoke with one of the judges there and did a deep dive into the many specialty areas of the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Tallahassee law firm is giving prospective future lawyers an in-depth look at the profession.
