Overview

Email is an essential tool for lawyers, but often causes issues with time management and communication. This course provides practical strategies for lawyers to use email more effectively everyday.

Lawyers use email everyday as an essential part of communication both within their offices and with external parties – clients, the courts or opponents. But lawyers often do not receive much training or guidance on how to use email effectively, which can lead to overwhelming inboxes and unfortunate miscommunications.

This course provides lawyers with practical strategies for working with email more effectively, including:

  • time management strategies for managing email;
  • techniques for drafting more effective emails that will get the right outcome; and
  • pitfalls to avoid when working with email.

    I thought I knew a lot about emails, use and structuring, but didn't know about the F-pattern. When I decided to enrol I thought I might pick up something, and I wasn't disappointed.
