Praktio

As you look to welcome a new class of first years, consider engaging your second years to augment your first-year program. Second years are uniquely well positioned—they've gone through the first-year program and have a year of context and experience. That's one reason we offer free pilots for second years (and rising second years!). They're a great audience to determine if Praktio's on-demand, skills-based courses could get your first years off to a stronger start. And because all of our e-learning is turnkey, you could run a free pilot one week and have courses available for first years the next! Our on-demand training slots into any schedule, teaching practical skills that transfer to real-world work. Curious what to expect from a free pilot? Check out some responses from an Am Law 100 firm that continued on to use our training for first years. #biglaw #elearning #lawfirms

Praktio's Contracts Fundamentals course helps first years gain practical contracts knowledge and skills by interacting with mock contracts and realistic scenarios. The opportunity to practice working with contracts in a zero-stakes environment means juniors are more confident when it's time to tackle the real thing. #contractstraining #biglaw #contractdrafting

With Praktio, firms *can* have it all—i.e., junior training that is: (1) experiential—featuring hands-on, exercise-based lessons backed by learning science; (2) on-demand—empowering learners to decide how and when to make training progress alongside their differently busy schedules; (3) hyper-practical—providing juniors with the skills and knowledge they need to do their work effectively right away; and (4) turnkey—Praktio is ready to go and already vetted (indeed, gushed over!) by lawyers across generations up and down the Am Law 200. With training built for learners navigating differently busy schedules while climbing steep learning curves, there's no need for firms to compromise on any critical element of effective, modern training.

Are you afraid of ghosts? What about overlooking a typo in a contract? All jokes aside, we've put some of the most common proofreading errors in our Precision Training courses so associates can practice finding and correcting mistakes. This helps build up awareness, making it easier to spot those same mistakes on real work. Can you find the error in this contract? #makemistakes #biglaw #professionaldevelopment

Praktio's interactive e-learning is designed to give transactional first years a strong start. And while we're pretty confident our skills-based e-learning could be a valuable addition to any program, second years are far better positioned to make that call. That's why we offer free, no-risk pilots for second years. They can take any—or all—of our interactive courses and decide for themselves if Praktio training would have been helpful to have at the start of their career. Want to learn more?

✨Interactive Course Spotlight: Precision Training✨ Attention to detail is a critical skill for any lawyer, but it's not easy to teach! Lawyers typically build up their "eagle-eye" muscles over time—but what if junior lawyers could practice proofreading realistic work product to develop those muscles more quickly? In addition to giving junior associates a place to practice spotting common drafting mistakes, Praktio's interactive Precision Training series comes with a tip sheet to help them continue to improve their attention to detail over time. And because all of Praktio's courses automatically save learner progress, juniors can jump in and out of the course as it suits their unique schedules, picking up wherever they last left off. #biglaw #traininganddevelopment #proofreading #makemistakes

It's easy to forget what it was like to be a first-year associate. Skills that seem obvious now might be confusing to someone new to the firm. So how do you know if your training covers the right skills? We suggest asking your second years. They're the perfect audience for this question because they're close enough to their first year to remember what it was like to be new, but far enough away to know what might be missing. That's why we offer free pilots with second years. It's the best way we've found to test if Praktio's e-learning could add something to the mix. (Spoiler: So far, the answer has been an enthusiastic "Yes!") #biglaw #lawfirms #lawfirmtraining

I guess I can't continue to play coy if I'm going to keep sharing feedback like this, so I'll just cop to having become an unabashed braggart. Regardless of what it says about my humility, sharing another heart-warming email I just received from a PD manager at an AmLaw 100: "I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for your insightful presentation yesterday. Your expertise and engaging delivery made the topic not only accessible but also truly enjoyable. We already received some positive feedback, including from one associate who noted: 'More programs like this. This was amazing.'" When I was a law professor, it was receiving the emails a few years later expressing deep-felt appreciation for the practical usefulness of my classes. Now, it's receiving emails like this that makes doing what I do so rewarding.
