January 27, 2021 at 10:09 PM Shares0 Change is constant in the legal profession. Even during an unprecedented pandemic, lawyers are expected to keep up with an evolving legal landscape as they deepen their practice, define their career goals, and deliver for clients. That’s where Practising Law Institute (PLI) comes in. For over eighty years, PLI has provided training and resources for lawyers at all stages of their careers. Craig Miller, PLI’s Interim President, provides an inside look at how the organization that practically invented CLE is responding to unprecedented times. How did PLI come to be? Imagine yourself a young lawyer in 1933. It’s the height of the Great Depression. FDR has just been sworn in as President and the first one hundred days of New Deal legislation occurs. Massive changes to the legal and regulatory landscape are underway, impacting banking, securities, agriculture, energy, and so much more. Court challenges will ensue. Overseas, Germany’s newly appointed Chancellor is Adolf Hitler.
