4/2 - Transition to Practice: Engaging Your Clients (Indianapolis)
This session will inform you of the reasons you need to have an engagement letter and advise you of best practices regarding
when and how to execute the letter and what to include in it. Presenters will identify aspects of the engagement letter that
address the duties, such as competence and loyalty, that a lawyer owes a client under the Rules of Professional Conduct, and
ways those duties can also be addressed in the letter.
The Transition to Practice Series is designed to provide practical no-nonsense guidance for law students and new attorneys
on how to practice law. Experienced practitioners will lead these presentations on essentials every new lawyer needs to know.

With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
Jack, I was only responding to bill's comment of tying everybody in government together. I agree with you though, it takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch.. As in any profession. What's truly unfair is when somebody violates someone's trust and takes complete advantage of someone
John’s comment is unfair. The majority of attorneys can be trusted. Unfortunately, all it takes is one greedy, unscrupulous, immoral attorney to jade the public.
In regards to bill's comment about trusting the cover meant. We can trust them about as much as we can trust attorneys'.
This is disturbing to learn...
