Sarah Filippi Dooley Co-Author of PAJ Handbook
(Philadelphia) – Attorney Sarah Filippi Dooley of Duffy + Fulginiti has contributed to the just-released “New Lawyer Handbook,” published by the Pennsylvania Association for Justice (PAJ).
The handbook, authored by a select group of PAJ members, offers tips and viewpoints for newly admitted attorneys to help them become successful trial lawyers. Chapters cover such areas as work/home life balance, mistakes to avoid, and practice-specific advice in Workers’ Compensation and Personal Injury work.
Dooley’s chapter, “What to Expect as a New Associate,” offers insight from her own experience on working in a small law firm: while the intensity of work and pressure may be greater, the collaborative nature of such a core group can be beneficial. She also offered specific examples of how young attorneys can contribute to trial preparation. Click here to read the handbook.
