Osgoode Professional Development (OsgoodePD) at York University is helping law firm\u00a0Miller Thomson LLP advance the development of its associates with a collaboration combining the power of technology with the benefits of in-person learning.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The partnership has led to the creation of a blended program designed specifically for associates in the firm\u2019s civil litigation and labour and employment practice groups. The program pairs self-paced, interactive e-modules with live training to allow associates to quickly gain new skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unlike anything else we\u2019ve done at Osgoode, so it\u2019s kind of groundbreaking,\u201d says Dana Shamlawi<\/strong>, program lawyer at OsgoodePD. \u201cWe\u2019re focusing on associates in years one to five and walking them through the practical and strategic aspects of the civil litigation process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each module consists of self-paced asynchronous activities, followed by two live sessions led by Miller Thomson partners, providing them with an opportunity to talk with associates about firm-specific practices, values and priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The live trainings are conducted in each of Miller Thomson\u2019s offices, allowing associates to receive personal coaching and support from colleagues and senior partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adam Stephens, Chair of the Advocacy Practice Group at Miller Thomson, sees the development of the program as a demonstration of the firm\u2019s commitment to attracting and retaining top legal talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the things that we hear from associates is that they really want their law firm to show an interest in their career development and skill advancement,\u201d says Stephens, who also sits on Miller Thomson\u2019s executive committee. \u201cThat\u2019s why the opportunity to work with Osgoode to develop this kind of hands-on litigation training made tremendous sense to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Miller Thomson places a strong emphasis on mentorship and professional development for young lawyers, Stephens says their individual experiences can be a little uneven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo matter what practical file work people are doing, there\u2019s always a chance that certain skills will be missed in the early years, depending on the mix of work people are doing,\u201d he explains, adding that the program developed with Osgoode will smooth out the process and fill in any gaps for young lawyers in the advocacy practice group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Stephens, one of the program\u2019s most attractive features is the way modules are tied together by scenarios from real-life cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt allows associates to work through a case from the initial client interview all the way to the conclusion of a trial,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephens says he and his colleagues in leadership positions at Miller Thomson were already familiar with Osgoode\u2019s extensive continuing legal education offerings, including the long-running Intensive Trial Advocacy Workshop<\/a>, where attendance has become something of a rite of passage for early-year associates in the firm\u2019s civil litigation practice group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe knew we were in good hands partnering with Osgoode on this project because of its stellar reputation for building continuing legal education programs and specifically because of its emphasis on practical learning,\u201d Stephens says. \u201cWe wanted to harness some of that power in-house.\u201d     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the first few years of practice traditionally serving as a training ground for young lawyers, Shamlawi says law firms have always been interested in exploring new ways to effectively and efficiently transform their law grads into legal professionals. However, the recent emergence of generative artificial intelligence technology, which threatens to cut the volume of learning opportunities for fledgling lawyers, has only increased the urgency to develop fresh training methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This program was created in collaboration with practitioners who emphasize the strategic and practical aspects of civil litigation, rather than just the rules. Osgoode also consulted with legal education pioneer and OsgoodePD consultant Professor Paul Maharg<\/strong>, a scholar who is renowned for his work in the field of technology-enhanced learning. The result is an e-course packed with interactive elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor the upcoming module on examinations for discovery, we are creating original videos in-house to demonstrate good and bad practices that associates can dissect and discuss,\u201d Shamlawi says. \u201cWe want to make sure that we\u2019re reaching learners in the most effective way, which is why it\u2019s so important that we\u2019re using cutting edge e-learning methodologies and techniques.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miller Thomson\u2019s civil litigation program is unlikely to be Osgoode\u2019s last e-course collaboration, according to Shamlawi, who sees the potential to customize programs for other law firms and individual practice groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re learning as we go,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of unlimited, the creativity that we want to use in engaging associates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those interested in a more tailored approach to learning can learn more about OsgoodePD\u2019s in-house and custom programs on the OsgoodePD website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
