Held immediately before ALA's East Regional Legal Management Conference in Chicago, ALA's Law Firm Management Essentials is a hybrid course that combines online education and assessment with a two-day face-to-face course. It's a must-attend program for those new to the legal administrator role.
Once you have completed the live, two-day LFME course, you will receive an email with instructions on how to login into our Learning Management System, iCohere to complete the eLearning portion of the course. The eLearning will consist of key term/definition matching sections and a 10-15 question quiz for each of the LFME modules. You will have until 9/28/18 to complete this portion of the training. A passing grade is 70 percent. Upon successful completion of the eLearning sessions and quizzes you will receive your certificate via email within 24 hours.

“I highly recommend attending Law Firm Management Essentials. There are many facets to managing a law firm, and this course gave an intuitive overview of each. It covered a wealth of important, beneficial, and practical material. The return on investment will continue through the years and as I grow in my role as a leader at my firm.”
