Ida O. Abbott, NALP 2001

Unlike Lawyers’ Professional Development, this volume is not an original textbook on professional development. It is rather a compilation of 17 articles by Ida Abbott – most originally published in Law Governance Review or its successor, Law Firm Governance – with updates and new articles added. The articles are arranged in seven sections – “Trust as a Necessary Foundation”; “Training”; “Performance and Productivity”; “Mentoring”; “Retention”; “Career Advancement Strategies”; and “Career Satisfaction.” Collectively, the articles present examples of best practices in a number of different aspects of professional development.
