Attorney Curtis Dooling Serves as Panelist for MCLE Practicing with Professionalism Course

All newly admitted lawyers in Massachusetts are required to take a one-day professionalism course within 18 months of admission. The day-long course, which is run by Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education (MCLE), covers a variety of topics, including ethics and professional conduct, court practice and successful attorney-client relationships.

MCLE recently invited Pierce & Mandell’s Curtis Dooling to sit on a lunchtime panel as part of the professionalism course. Dooling and three other panelists spoke to attendees and answered questions on such varied topics as balancing work and family, dealing with intransigent opposing counsel and career development.

On participating in the Practicing with Professionalism course, Dooling noted, “I found the discussion to be instructive and enjoyable and I was honored to be invited back by MCLE to be a panelist. I tried to provide some practical advice to the newly-admitted attorneys, advice I would have liked to receive when I was a newly admitted lawyer. The discussion focused on real-life issues, such as client relationships and career development, that aren’t taught in law school. I look forward to participating in more MCLE curricula in the future.”
