    2024 April Meeting: Document Specialist Development & Training

    How do you bridge the gap between what your legal secretaries know and what they need to know?

    Join April's event where we’ll explore the role of assessments in identifying areas of improvement for legal secretaries and innovative methods to enhance training for the legal secretary position. Experts discuss the nuances of developing best practices for the legal document life cycle - from initial drafting to finalization.

    You’ll learn targeted training strategies designed to up-skill legal secretaries precisely where they need it most. Whether it's mastering legal terminology, refining proofreading techniques, or navigating specialized software, our panelists will share effective approaches to elevate legal secretary proficiency.
