Description

Mr Stuart Teicher, Esq. ‘the CPD Performer’, from New Jersey, USA provides an entertaining and educational half-day CPD event covering three mandatory CPD areas, that are as relevant to your practice today as they were in 2015, across three sessions: Part 1: Fluff is for pillows, not legal writing (1 PS); Part 2: Technethics: the ethical & professional pitfalls of social media (1 E); and Part 3: It’s not time management…it’s lifetime management (1 PM). The best part is that this deep material is presented in an entertaining manner. Stuart states that “Joining the ranks of the ultra-successful lawyers is a three part process: perfecting your craft, managing your time/stress, and protecting yourself from the most dangerous ethical pitfalls”.  

Part 1: Fluff is for pillows, not legal writing (1 PS)

Distilling legal documents to their most basic elements is the key to creating an effective persuasive legal writing. It's also the best way to draft readable documents for transactions. The problem is…it's not so easy to achieve. Stuart teaches how to make legal writings clear, concise and direct. Learn the technicalities of sentence structure, get the lowdown on Stuart's "shortwriting" method for reducing long sentences, and get the skinny on "the only punctuation you'll ever need to know." 

Part 2: Technethics: the ethical & professional pitfalls of social media (1 E)

It was said that “Facebook will be around for another year or so, then it's gone”. Yeah, right. Social media is here to stay and having significant ethical and professional ramifications for lawyers of all kinds. Whether it's the manner in which it's used in the substantive practice or the bad decisions we make in our personal use, there are ethical concerns about which we must all be aware. In this session, Stuart talks about issues like competence, confidentiality, misconduct, and lots more. His program includes a discussion of particular rules from the Australian Solicitor’s Conduct Rules.   

Part 3: It’s not time management…it’s lifetime management (1 PM)

Anyone can talk about little tips for time management, but rarely does any speaker get down to the core issues. In this session, Stuart explores the evil trilogy of time management, procrastination, distraction, and neglect. He also talks about managing the stress inherent in the practice of law and how to avoid dangerous pitfalls like substance abuse.  

Rockstar Lawyer National Tour in conjunction with Thompson Reuters. Stuart Teicher’s visit to Australia in 2015 was made possible by the combined effort of Law Societies across Australia.
