I don’t think we have yet discussed this in class but I thought it was an opportunity that might be of interest to some students in the future so I thought I would share the link.
Through the CCCA you can become a Certified In-House Counsel for $9,100 + taxes (in case you haven’t yet spent all your money on law school tuition).
Quote from the website:
Who should apply?
“This program is designed for in-house counsel who need management and leadership skills to advance their careers and contribute in meaningful ways to their organization’s executive team. Whether you are new to in-house counsel, in a mid-level position, serving as Senior Counsel, or acting as an Only Legal Officer, the program will offer you the knowledge and insights you need to make a lasting impact on your organization.”
Of Note: As referenced above – a term I hadn’t yet come across – the role of “Only Legal Officer” in the organization.
I think training such as this would be very beneficial for would-be in-house counsels who have little or no management experience.
