With a decade of experience in teaching, management, scholarship, and community engagement, Iselin lives and breathes legal writing and professional development every single day. She is eager to share her passion for legal writing and professional development with you and your team.
By drawing on her experience teaching nearly 600 law students and supervising and training over 100 legal writing professors, Iselin offers dynamic and interactive group workshops and one-on-one consultations that are customized to meet the needs of new and seasoned lawyers alike, as well as summer associates, law clerks, and paralegals. She offers programming and coaching in three key areas: Writing, Wellness, and Wisdom.
WRITING
From motions to briefs to emails and everything in between, all lawyers are writers. Iselin understands the demands facing today's fast-paced law offices and have created a wide range of workshops to sharpen the writing skills of every legal professional in your firm, from the summer associate to the most senior parter. She offers nuts-and-bolts refreshers for junior attorneys, advanced rhetoric and persuasion trainings for seasoned attorneys, and workshops in document design, email communication and etiquette, and much more.
WELLNESS
Lawyering is a juggling act, and it takes a great deal of grit, determination, and skill to keep all the balls in the air. The legal profession is not well-known for its commitment to valuing the overall well-being of its members, but the latest cognitive science research makes it clear that people who engage in a range of wellness and mindfulness techniques are more focused, productive, and successful both at work and at home. Iselin draws on the latest research to provide training in concrete and deployable strategies to help you function at your best.
WISDOM
Successful lawyers are more than just good writers. Being a productive, reflective, and nimble member of the team is a critical aspect of any lawyer's job. Iselin harnesses the latest social science research and her decade of supervisory experience to offer you concrete and deployable strategies for creating a more efficient and effective workplace. Topics range from strategies for giving and receiving feedback effectively to developing efficient time management techniques to creating meaningful evaluations of yourself and others, and more.
INDIVIDUALIZED COACHING & MORE
Along with our diverse array of workshop topics to meet the needs of a wide range of legal professionals, Iselin is always excited to develop customized programming designed to meet your specific goals and needs. From individualized legal writing coaching to multi-day trainings with one-on-one and peer feedback sessions, she can create a training package that's right for you.
