Last day for early pricing - it is shaping up to be a fun group. Hope you can make it!

Support Jacksonville Area Legal Aid, Inc. (JALA) and University of North Florida's Data Science for Social Good at "Off the Clock - Live!”. This past summer UNF #DSSG interns helped JALA with one of the biggest problems facing at-risk populations: the time lag between onset of a legal issue and the eventual contact with a lawyer who can help. This challenge is magnified with traditionally underserved populations - and the result is the difference between finding a tumor at Stage 1 vs. Stage 4. The outcomes skew wildly negative the later JALA can react. DSSG built a proof of concept application that gathered and filtered data from public sources, such as the Clerk of the Court, Property Appraiser, and Code Enforcement as well as JALA’s internal case management database, LegalServer. The project was designed to increase JALA’s ability to target its outreach to those most at risk in real time, particularly in housing cases. The goal was to impact economically challenged areas with the identification of heirs’ properties, preventable evictions and foreclosures, post hurricane scams, among similar issues. Some of the sponsors of the summer 2024 project included: ADVOS Pro, Smith Gambrell Russell, and NLP Logix. Plans are in the works to dive deeper in 2025, but we will need more community support. Find one of us at “Off the Clock - Live” to learn more about this important and ground-breaking work, using data science for social good. A donation will be made to Jacksonville Area Legal Aid, Inc. on behalf of those attending. If you haven’t yet registered, the “clock is ticking”. We look forward to seeing you there and sharing more about this important work. You can find more details about the speakers and how to register here https://bit.ly/3YKDKxJ .

💡 Do you love your work? I mean, really LOVE your work? 💡 As we start to think about holiday parties and the end of the year, I'm vividly reminded of a packed, festive holiday party back in 2015 where the host introduced me to another attorney. As he shook my hand, he said words that lit a fire in me: “Oh, you're an attorney, too. I’m sorry.” 😳 I'm sorry!?! I'm sorry for working hard to become a lawyer and help clients with complex issues? For doing intellectually challenging and rewarding work? I'm sorry for what exactly? I wish I could say I was surprised, but it’s a conversation that happens ALL. THE. TIME. Why do we tell each other this story that practicing law is miserable? Why do we continue to tolerate an experience that crushes our souls and makes us the brunt of bad jokes? And why do we perpetuate it, even in jest? 😔 That moment crystallized something for me: the legal profession has a serious image problem. But more importantly, it has a happiness problem. And I'm here to tell you—based on what we've built over the last nearly 10 years and helped other law firm owners discover —it doesn’t have to be this way. 💥 Contrary to the common narrative, practicing law can be fulfilling, rewarding, and yes, even enjoyable. The key is to stop accepting the status quo and start actively shaping your practice into one that works for you, your team, and your clients. So ask yourself—what is it that makes it miserable? Here are the kinds of discussions we're having in our Accelerator roundtable groups. 👥 🤦♂️ Are there certain clients that make you cringe when their name pops up? It doesn't have to be that way. 😖 Is there work that you hate doing? It doesn't have to be that way. 😬 Is there a team member who consistently delivers subpar work and makes you do it over? It doesn't have to be that way. 😩 Is there a process that takes forever and feels like a pain to do? You get it. ⏱️ Do you hate billing by the hour and tracking every 6 minutes? Going through email to figure out what you did all day? Sending invoices with one eye closed, knowing the client isn’t expecting that? Chasing invoices? 💸 These are all choices—and you can make different ones. My business partner, Whitney Harper, has a favorite quote that gets me every time: "Your business model is perfectly designed to deliver the results you’re getting today." So what are some changes you can make? 🤔 💬 Start by having a deep conversation with yourself about your ideal client. Think of clients who value you, who you know you serve exceptionally—and those that make you cringe. You can decide to work only with clients who light you up, who value your expertise, and who you’d go to the ends of the earth for. 🌟 (More in the comments)
