With an ever-increasingly complex society, with ever-growing demands on attention, and with ever-accelerating changes in legal work and laws, lawyers' brains are having trouble keeping up. To help attorneys cope, the Ohio State Bar Association (OSBA) this month will offer a CLE seminar titled Mastering Change, Improving Productivity and Reducing Stress for Today's Attorney.
