Solo Practice University

One of the things I like most about this blog has to be the amount of solo and small firm attorneys that benefit from the posts. I like to think I helped a “little guy” out there beat the “big guy”. But how does one gain the real world education of a litigation veteran?
I’m sure everyone goes to CLE’s (even I go to them!) to learn new ideas, rules, and theories, but what do you really get out of it? Probably not enough…
Looking to fill that void is Susan Cartier Liebel, author of the popular blog “Build A Solo Practice“. And she’s on a new mission. She’s going to college.
Upon learning about Solo Practice University I was relieved that someone finally had seen the area of real world education missing in the legal community. Many topics covered at CLE’s to bar association meetings never engage the audience.. Most of the time it doesn’t even feel like a learning experience, more like a required experience. Solo Practice University is going to change this. Law students to veteran attorneys are going to be able to learn, give advice and interact in a more “school” like setting.
The amount of time and attention to detail being put into this site should make it an amazing experience. So far all we know is the University will have a social networking feature similar to Facebook. There will be a large group of Lecturers and Professors that will conduct online courses, Syllabus and all. I’m sure the topics will be far reaching as well. There will be blogs, profiles and a messaging system. This is an exciting time for law students and lawyers looking to learn the real world tricks of the trade!

Blake,
Thank you so much for your kind words. This is truly a labor of love and we are very excited to open our doors very soon. Based upon all the feedback, I do believe we are filling a void with the ‘university’ we are building.
