Description
Ready to take the next step into legal professional development? Building on the foundation from “The Legal PD Landscape: Roles, Trends, and Opportunities,” a webinar the PDC offered in April, this follow-up webinar dives into the practical realities of landing your first PD role. Hear directly from a panel of legal PD leaders as they share where to find open positions, what hiring managers actually look for in candidates, and how to translate your existing experience — whether from law practice, higher education, HR, or another field entirely — into a compelling case for a PD career. Whether you’re a practicing attorney considering a change, a professional pivoting from an adjacent industry, or an entry-level candidate just starting to explore the field, this session will leave you with concrete, actionable steps you can take to move closer to a career in legal professional development.
