We know a legal career is a mara-
thon, not a sprint. Making yourself
known in order to sell your services
presents more challenges, for many
small firm and solo practitioners,
than does running an actual mara-
thon. Come discuss the hurdles and
breakthroughs in establishing your
name and reputation-in person, in
print, and now, too, on social media-
and how to deal resiliently with the
inevitable stress and missteps along
the way.
Kathy Morris of Under Advisement,
Ltd., the featured legal career coun-
selor of the CBA Career Advance-
ment Program, will provide food for
thought and field your questions.
Please come prepared to participate
actively in this career-enhancing
session.
Register and learn more at www.
updates, networking and business devel-
opment opportunities, free solo/small
firm resource portal, career resources,
member discounts, and more. Plus, your
membership helps strengthen the CBA’s
efforts to improve the administration of
justice in Illinois andprovide legal services
to the disadvantaged.
