What is FirmUp Weekend?

FirmUp WeekendT is a CLE pending program and the product of a group brainstorm and inspiration from Startup Weekend presented by Benjamin's Desk (http://benjaminsdesk.com)   (http://benjaminsdesk.com/index.php) and Hire an Esquire (https://hireanesquire.com) .

During FirmUp WeekendT, lawyers will exercise their entrepreneurial and collaborative muscles while further sharpening the traditional legal skills of advocacy, case building and thinking on their feet before judges. Of course there's an asterisk. Lawyers performing open arguments will be convincing other lawyers to join their law firm -- which must be a novel concept that tackles an unorthodox new market of makes legal services accessible. Over the course of the weekend, lawyers will learn practice management basics to further shape and build the case for their firm before convincing a panel of judges of its merits.
