Law school teaches us how to think like lawyers — but not always how to be lawyers. The real-world challenges of practice often fall outside the casebooks: managing difficult clients, navigating ethical pitfalls, billing effectively, and maintaining your sanity in the process.

Join attorney Jordan Turk for a candid and practical session exploring the lessons every lawyer wishes they’d learned sooner. Drawing from years in the trenches of family law and legal tech, Jordan shares the insights, mistakes, and strategies that help attorneys build sustainable, ethical, and efficient practices.

Key Takeaways:

Ethical pitfalls to avoid — the traps law school never warned you about
Money matters — practical billing and collection tips
Managing clients (and their cases) with professionalism and respect
Tech and time — using modern tools to reclaim your day

February 5: Early Case Assessment

Many practitioners recognize that conducting Early Case Assessment facilitates better decision-making with respect to whether and how to proceed with a case – ultimately resulting in more certainty and a reduction of costs.

Additionally, it will highlight how attorneys are using innovative tools such as Artificial Intelligence and analytics to quickly find answers to common legal questions, determine motion strategy and develop more persuasive motions.

April 30: What to Expect from a Fire Expert

Title:
What to Expect from a Fire Expert

Description:
The scientific investigation to determine a fire's origin and cause is a critical component when insurance claims become complex and transition toward litigation. A reliable fire expert's findings must be firmly rooted in factual science and adhere to rigorous industry standards, notably NFPA 921 and 1033.

This program offers a detailed look at the expert's systematic methodology. We discuss how key fire patterns and effects are used to establish the area of origin, and we demonstrate how identifying the heat source, the first material ignited, and the sequence of fire progression is used to establish the likely cause of a fire.

Drawing on the panel's seasoned experience in forensic property loss investigation, this presentation equips attendees to effectively integrate the expert's findings into their professional work. You will be prepared to critically evaluate the technical evidence and its implications for your claims or overall legal strategy.

Program Outline

Introduction
The Basics
Origin Determination: Fire Patterns
Origin Determination: Fire Effects
Cause Determination: Fuel
Cause Determination: Ventilation
Cause Determination: Fire Progression
Cause Determination: Ignition Sources
Conclusion.

Learning Objectives

Explain the critical distinctions between public and private fire investigators, including who hires them and the differing burdens of proof in their respective investigations.
Review the role of industry standards (like NFPA 921 and 1033) and factual science in fire investigations to ensure proper claims handling and protect against liability exposure.
Articulate how key fire patterns and effects are used by fire experts to systematically determine both the area of origin and the cause of a fire.
Discuss how to properly integrate the findings and opinions of a fire origin and cause expert with a property damage expert's assessment and the overall legal strategy in a subrogation or liability claim.
