Back in April, we brought together a group of legal professionals at the frontier of professional development in the legal sector. In the brief few hours of Law Jobs for Humans, we heard from almost a dozen legal career rebels forging new and unique careers at the frontier of the legal sector, the legal innovators who are actively hiring non-traditional legal professionals, and the law school educators who are breaking the rigid law school structure to teach and train law students for 21st century careers.
And, despite all the effort we put into curating quality content, attendees told us that the most valuable part of Law Jobs for Humans wasn’t any of the specifically prepared programming. It formal (a modified speed dating event) and informal (incidental networking and accidental collisions) connections forged at the event.
That’s when we knew we had something. It wasn’t about us. It was that these people had been searching for an opportunity to be together. All we had to do was create the container. And that’s when we knew that we had to do it again.
The details are forthcoming but the aim is to keep what worked – more hearing directly from innovators, more opportunities for speed dating and accidental collisions – and do less of what was less impactful.
Here’s the v1 of the Law Jobs for Humans 2.0 Agenda:
