At Stange Law Firm, PC, we believe attorneys should never stop developing their legal skills. The Stange Advocacy Institute is the firm’s internal attorney-training and professional-development program.
Through practical instruction and hands-on learning, the Stange Advocacy Institute helps attorneys become stronger counselors, negotiators, legal writers, litigators, and courtroom advocates. The program supports newer lawyers as they develop their skills while giving experienced attorneys opportunities to sharpen their advocacy, case-management, and leadership abilities.
Practical Training for the Practice of Law
Family law attorneys must be prepared to manage complex cases, communicate with clients during difficult circumstances, negotiate effectively, and advocate confidently in court.
The Stange Advocacy Institute focuses on the practical skills attorneys use in their daily practices. Training may address:
- Courtroom and trial advocacy
- Preparation for hearings, depositions, mediations, and trials
- Direct and cross-examination of witnesses
- Evidence, objections, and evidentiary foundations
- Legal research, analysis, and persuasive writing
- Drafting pleadings, motions, discovery, proposed judgments, and orders
- Discovery strategy and case preparation
- Negotiation and settlement strategy
- Client counseling and communication
- Case strategy, organization, and time management
- Professional responsibility and legal ethics
- Leadership and law-practice management
Weekend Advocacy Intensives
As part of the Stange Advocacy Institute, the firm conducts periodic Weekend Advocacy Intensives. These programs allow attorneys to step away from their daily caseloads and concentrate on developing the skills necessary to serve clients effectively and advance their careers.
Weekend Advocacy Intensives emphasize practical learning, professional collaboration, and the application of legal principles to situations attorneys encounter in their practices. The programs also allow attorneys from different offices to exchange ideas, learn from one another, and develop greater consistency in how the firm serves its clients.
Training for Attorneys at Every Career Stage
The Stange Advocacy Institute is designed to benefit attorneys throughout their careers.
Newer attorneys can develop practical abilities more quickly, gain confidence, and learn how to manage cases from inception through resolution. Experienced attorneys can refine advanced litigation and negotiation skills, strengthen their leadership abilities, and share their knowledge with other lawyers at the firm.
The goal is not simply to teach legal concepts. It is to help attorneys apply those concepts effectively when counseling clients, preparing cases, negotiating resolutions, and appearing in court.
