Course Content
Learning to manage a heavy caseload effectively has a direct impact on achieving positive outcomes. Lawyers and paralegals who are proactive and prioritise effectively, get better results, more client satisfaction and better client retention.

Depending on the work type, it is not uncommon for a lawyer to manage over a hundred active cases at any one time.
While each case will be at a difference stage of legal proceedings, finding ways to be organised and efficient when managing them is critical.
