Law Firm 101 Initiative
The ILTA Law Firm 101 initiative aims to develop an innovative e-learning product to educate administrative professionals about the business of law. At ILTACON 2015, we hope to capture your insight into this initiative. ILTA has partnered with TDC, a non-profit consulting and research firm, to conduct short in-person interviews. If you don’t have time for an interview but have ideas to share, consider answering the online survey. Both survey and interview sign-ups are on the ILTACON 2015 Events App under the description for the cancelled Law Firm 101 session on Monday.
