Billing and communication for attorneys discussed online Aug. 20
The Oakland County Bar Association will present the webinar “Time Matters: What Attorneys Need to Know about Billing and Communication” on Thursday, August 20, from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.
For most lawyers, success in legal practice requires more than strong legal analysis—it also involves time tracking and robust documentation. Unfortunately, most new lawyers are not taught these vital skills in law school.
In this virtual program, participants will learn from two experienced law-firm billers the basics about how to bill time, meet and maximize billable hours, communicate with partners and clients, and handle documenting in case files. Speaking at the webinar will be Mary C. Aretha, senior research attorney-Court of Claims, Michigan Court of Appeals; and Paul Shkreli of Shkreli Legal PLLC.
Cost for the webinar is $20 for OCBA members, $15 for Professional Development Committee members, $15 for new lawyers and paralegals, $10 for OCBA students, and $40 for non-members. To register, visit www.ocba.org and click on “events.”
‘Data Literacy for Courts’ presented online Aug. 18-20
The National Center for State Courts will present its “Data Literacy for Courts” course online Tuesday through Thursday, August 18-20, from noon to 4 p.m. each day.
Courts need staff who can understand, interpret, and use data to support better decisions. NCSC’s “Data Literacy for Courts” course gives court leaders and staff the practical skills to confidently read, understand, and communicate about court data.
Data is one of a court’s most underused assets. When staff at every level can read, question, and apply data, court leaders make better decisions, optimize processes, and measure what’s actually working. Data literacy also creates a shared language across roles, helping teams collaborate more effectively on data quality and performance.
The “Data Literacy for Courts” course is designed for a range of court professionals, including court administrators, judges, clerks, IT staff, analysts, new hires in research and data offices, and any court professional interested in court data. No background in data is required.
As a result of participating in this course, participants will be able to define data literacy and data governance in the context of court data; describe why data are considered strategic assets of the courts; and more.
The “Data Literacy for Courts” course registration is $695. To register, visit www.ncsc.org and click on “Education &?events.”
