OBA Young Lawyers Division PROGRAM | Original Program Date: February 15, 2024

As a lawyer, you may find yourself faced with a troubling interaction with opposing counsel, a colleague or a client due to implicit bias, incivility, or just a generally difficult person. It can be especially challenging for newer lawyers early on in their career to know when and how to address these tricky circumstances appropriately and with confidence.  

Hear from experienced lawyers about how to navigate these difficult situations, and gather practical strategies for dealing with challenging people in your practice.
