York University’s Osgoode Professional Development has partnered with Miller Thompson LLP to create a blended training program for the company’s legal associates. The program provides blended learning using self-paced e-modules, which is combined with live training conducted in Miller Thompson’s offices. The in-person training provides learners with an opportunity to discuss firm-specific practices, values, and priorities and receive personal coaching and support. “It’s unlike anything else we’ve done at Osgoode, so it’s kind of groundbreaking,” said OsgoodePD Program Lawyer Dana Shamlawi. “We’re focusing on associates in years one to five and walking them through the practical and strategic aspects of the civil litigation process.”
