I am the founder and president of Shapiro Communications, a live communication facilitation and training company. Amongst our communication skills courses, we offer one specifically for attorneys that contains an original solo-performance based upon interviews with lawyers and their clients, co-counsel, staff and families called, In Defense of Anger. By using the interviewee’s actual words, this 60 minute, multi-character performance provides a highly entertaining look into the rather unique communication styles attorney’s use at work, home, and beyond. In Defense of Anger is currently offered for continuing legal education credit in many states, as a way to assist attorneys in enhancing their communication repertoire.
Many respected law schools are seeking novel ways to make their graduates more marketable on Day One. To help fill that need, Shapiro Communications is now offering In Defense of Anger to select law schools nationally, to help provide law school students with valuable, real-life insights into the communication styles attorneys frequently use successfully or with undesired consequences. A facilitated discussion follows the performance to substantiate the performance’s salient points, helping to provide a competitive edge for your students’ in their future legal careers.
