Women in the legal profession face a range of challenges from unconscious bias and low retention rates to underrepresentation in leadership roles and barriers to career progression. While awareness of the issues is increasing, improvements are slow so practical steps are needed at the individual as well as firm or organisational level to support the advancement and retention of women lawyers.
The National Association of Community Legal Centres (NACLC) and Community Legal Centres NSW (CLCNSW) are pleased to announce the 2018 National CLCs Conference:
Just Futures
Shaping our vision beyond 2020
This year’s conference will provide an excellent opportunity for attendees to hear from experts inside and outside the sector, as well as participate in a series of interactive workshops.

Richard Susskind in his most recent offering on the technological revolution confronting lawyers predicts an end-times scenario. Dr Michael Nancarrow's prognosis is more hopeful but equally challenging. Tomorrow’s lawyers (which includes both those in practice as well as those entering practice) face challenges of a different complexion to what awaited lawyers in previous periods. Technology will intrude into much of the process and rountinised aspects of law practice. The daily work, tasks and decisions of tomorrow’s lawyers will take a different turn in many ways.
"Without it [EQ], a person can have the best training in the world, an incisive, analytical mind, and an endless supply of smart ideas, but he still won’t make a great leader.” Daniel Coleman, HBR article, 1998.
Lawyers in particular can set themselves apart from the competition, and contribute to their practice growth strategy by developing their EQ skills. With a positive impact being reported in relation to communication, client relationships, staff management and resilience, it’s no wonder EQ is often the go-to skill for successful lawyers.
