[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 824, member: 1"] Brilliant insights, Jonty, thank you for taking the time to share this. Apologies in advance for the many questions, there’s so much good content in there! Interesting that Fuse are interested in using tech to improve work/life balance. If that happens, that’ll be a real breakthrough – I think there’s a lot of merit to reducing hours to increase productivity and I’d love to see more firms experiment with that. I didn’t realise that Crowd Justice were there, she clearly has injected a lot of creativity into the profession! Do you know what she meant by letting the fires burn? Re: the qualities of future lawyers – when I started as a trainee, I soon learned how unprepared I was for written communication (despite thinking this was a strength of mine). Even simple concise emails took a long time. I plan to teach legal writing and drafting in our future courses. The same goes for flexibility and resilience – the way law school taught this was very poor, despite it being one of the most important skills – especially when you’re working until 3-4am a few days in a row. Would you mind expanding on the point about time/self management – how would law firms test this (beyond setting time limits to complete activities)? I’m still open minded about the SQE, I think it poses some great ideas but I’m surprised that they’ve pushed it and set a deadline despite having few concrete details. On the other hand, it may be linked to the point you made at the end – that change won’t really happen unless the SRA go after it aggressively. Was there anything about how it’s problematic in terms of training future lawyers? [/QUOTE]
