Attorneys face many chalenges to career satisfaction including balancing work and life, advancement, business development, stress, time management, not to mention lawyer jokes. A continuing legal education (CLE) class entitled "Finding Career Satisfaction In The Law: Using Creative Problem Solving and Planning" has been set for November 30, 2007 at the Southdale Library in Edina, Minnesota. This seminar is designed to help lawyers come up with a plan and methodology for addressing obstacles to career satisfaction.
According to Shaun Jamison, J.D., Ph.D., "If we want to keep our legal system working well, we need to find ways for more lawyers to overcome obstacles to enjoying what they do. Many lawyers leave the practice of law and others stay and are unhappy. The key is to improve the situation for lawyers facing challenges who want to stay so they can continue to be effective advocates for justice." Jamison notes the seminar is unusual for a CLE in that it utilizes very interactive, adult-learning oriented methods. "Attorneys will learn from each other and wil actually work on a plan for overcoming their challenges during the seminar."
Dr. Jamison is a law professor as well as a business and life coach. He has practiced law, served in management at Thomson-West and taught law. His co-facilitator for the seminar, Leonard Lang, Ph.D. is also a coach and facilitator and has led trainings for groups ranging from engineers at Guidant Corporation to physicians at United Hospital. He is the author of "Guide to Lifework: Working with Integrity and Heart".
The seminar will be held November 30,2007. Seating is limited. This course has been approved by the Minnesota State Board of Continuing Legal Education for 6.0 hours in the following category of credit: Professional Development.

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
