Description

This workshop is APPROVED for 1.5 general continuing legal education (CLE) credits by the Indiana Office of Admissions & Continuing Education.


This 90-minute workshop will teach you the fundamentals of improvisation and how to apply those fundamentals to the successful practice of law. Improvising is all about learning the same skills that can help a lawyer at any level of practice to be a better client advocate. Improvisation will help you to:

  • Think more quickly on your feet
  • Create a more positive work environment for your firm
  • Improve your active listening skills
  • Collaborate in a group
  • Build trust within your firm
  • Communicate more effectively
  • Problem-solve more creatively
  • Laugh more
  • Reduce stress
  • More fully enjoy interacting with clients, judges, and fellow lawyers

Here's how the workshop works:

4:00-4:30: Check-in
4:30-5:00: The Art of Actively Listening to Client Concerns
5:00-5:30: Saying “Yes” in Your Practice
5:30-6:00: How to Work Collaboratively to Achieve a Desirable Outcome

Several faculty members at Northwestern’s Pritzker School of Law swear by the study of improv furthering their careers. And it’s a heck of a lot more fun than another PowerPoint presentation.

This seminar is led by Michael Bradt, a former high school teacher and practicing real estate attorney who has been licensed in Illinois since 2005. Throughout his career, he has advocated successfully for his clients while utilizing the improv skills he has honed for over two and a half decades.

This is an interactive presentation. Attendees are encouraged to participate in the various improv exercises and activities we will be undertaking. There is not a strenuous degree of physical activity required, but participants will be encouraged to participate in mildly physical activities.
