EVENT REPORT
Thinking about Mistakes
Matt Jantzi, Miller Canfield LLP
On October 14, 2021, the Young Advocates Standing Committee hosted a
panel on the “Top 5 Mistakes in the First 5 Years & How to Avoid Them”.
The panelists shared their experiences and stories of mistakes they made
in their first years of practice and the important lessons learned from
those mistakes.
A unifying theme in the conversation from the evening was that mistakes
often have interpersonal components, stemming from relationships
with our clients, our colleagues, and ourselves. The below are just
some of the best practices the panelists shared to avoid making these
types of mistakes.
