Collision of Classes and the Training Challenge
The legal profession and landscape has changed dramatically over the last year and a half. The seemingly everyday occurrences of legal job losses, firm closings, deferred start dates, elimination of summer programs and competition for client work has left the profession unsure of its future.
When I talk to my colleagues, one question that is on our minds is how firms will deal with the different class and experience levels, that may be joining law firms at the same time. In this new legal world, designating classes for advancement by law school graduation year may no longer be feasible. Firms may have first-, second- and third-years (normally designated by their graduation years) start at the same time. This influx will be a challenge to professional development departments and firms to assess experience levels, provide appropriate training for those experience levels and most importantly manage expectations, deliver feedback and determine career paths for associates. However, in spite of these challenges this may be the time for change, innovation and collaboration.
