The Power of Certifications in Legal

Jared Coseglia

<b><i>Part Two of a Two-Part Article</b></i><p>Professionals in e-discovery and privacy, including lawyers, are hungry for growth opportunities and may be ripe to transition into certain security-centric positions; however, the security job landscape is far more expansive and far less commoditized than ESI or privacy — for now. Part Two provides a road map for how certifications can assist an individual or an organization in reinventing, repurposing, creating or maintaining cybersecurity talents.

'Media & Communication:' We Wrote This Article to Share with You

Mary Margaret Gorman & John Hellerman

Develop content with a purpose in mind versus simply creating content for its own sake. Retweets and shares are fine, but they shouldn't be the end goal of a lawyer's effort. Instead, creating content should be about enabling the lawyer to feel comfortable and easily engage with clients.
