PracticePack

Have you always planned to hang your shingle after law school? Or are you still looking for a job but starting to think about opening your own firm instead? If so, we want to get you started on the right foot. PracticePack is here to help.

Whether you’ve already taken the first steps or are still considering your options, you’re invited to join PracticePack, a group created exclusively for new solos by the MSBA. PracticePack started last year and is a great resource, giving new lawyers a chance to learn the ropes from experts and from each other.

Who?   PracticePack focuses on lawyers going straight from law school to solo or small firm practice, whether they’ve just graduated or have been job-searching. If you've already been working as a lawyer, this might not be the group for you since we not only work on getting your firm off the ground but we also provide support for those who have never practiced before.

What?   Monthly meetings with your peers and guest speakers to get your firm up and running.

Some of the topics we have planned for future meetings include: trust accounts and bookkeeping; tech on a budget; build your own website (we’ll be building them at the meeting); and practical ethics. In addition, there’ll be time to ask questions about what’s happening in your practice (including that question that you think is "too dumb" to ask other lawyers).

The MSBA sponsors a private forum (sort of like a Facebook feed) just for PracticePack participants where you can chat, network, and ask for help.

When and Where?    Usually the third Tuesday of each month from 8:00A.M.-10:00 A.M. at a local cafe.
