1 - Insights into Practicing Law, Client Acquisition, and Operational Management with Letsch Law Firm's Cynthia Letsch

In the inaugural episode of What I Wish I Learned in Law School, Josh Elledge of UpMyInfluence speaks with the Attorney of Letsch Law Firm, Cynthia Letsch. One of the most striking points Cynthia made was about the disconnect between legal education and the actual practice of law. She expressed a wish that law schools would place greater emphasis on the rules of civil procedure. It's one thing to study the theory behind these rules, but understanding their application is crucial for any lawyer stepping into a courtroom. This gap in practical knowledge is something many new lawyers face, and it's a gap that needs bridging for the betterment of our profession.Cynthia's insights didn't stop at legal procedures. She delved into the art of running a law firm—a challenge that many lawyers are unprepared for. Starting and managing a firm is no small feat, and it requires a skill set that often goes beyond what's taught in law school. From operational management to the nuances of client acquisition, Cynthia highlighted the multifaceted nature of her role as a law firm owner.To learn more about Cynthia's work, click HERE and HERE.Think you'd be a great guest on the show?
