Legal-Ease International...A story

Legal-Ease International.... A Story Alex chose her outfit carefully. She wanted something that looks relaxed yet professional, something that would allow her to move freely yet appropriate for her age and her profession. She took one last look at the clothes that she brought with her and chose a romper and a blazer – the perfect outfit. She grabbed a pair of gladiator heels and went to the function hall. The door opened and she saw other lawyers and law students of different ages, colors, shapes, and sizes. Everyone was smiling excitedly. Alex sat down next to a guy with kind eyes. “Hi!” she greeted him before sitting down. “Hello!” he greeted back. “Is this your first time here?” Alex asked. “Yes and I am really excited about it. I read good things about Legal Ease International and I am finally here to experience it,” he answered. “Oh yes, I have attended this event for three consecutive years. I love everything – the new knowledge, the experts, the fun activities, the productive workshops, and the most interesting people. The name is Alex, by the way,” Alex shared. “I’m Joaquin. I really hope to learn a lot here and I am also hoping to make new friends. I am a corporate lawyer who is looking forward to learning and for other options that I can explore,” Joaquin said. After a lecture, they were assigned to smaller groups. Alex and Joaquin found themselves together in a group with five other participants. They were asked to tell the group something about their lives and their work. During the small group discussion, Alex learned a lot of things in addition to what she learned in the lecture. Mr. Leonard works in the Public Attorneys’ Office and he handled many different kinds of cases for the poor but the most interesting one was of those who invested what little money they had to a networking scheme that turned out to be a scam. Honey Lee was a law student who is working on her thesis. She asked practicing lawyers for some help in answering some questionnaires and they were just happy to help her with it. Red is an adventurer with three degrees under his belt. He is a lawyer, an accountant, and a teacher. He teaches in a university most days and he goes hiking on the others. He likes to keep busy and learning in these events including Legal Ease International really matters. Mrs. Rubias is a retired lawyer who is now a part-time consultant in a law firm. She once ran to become the mayor but she failed to make it. Maria is another law student who is inclined to politics. She shared the weirdest things that she knows about different nation’s political practices. She heard about Legal-Ease International from a friend of hers and went to www.legalenglish.com/seminars/ and registered for a class with Dena Falken her instructor. This is what Alex loves most about Legal Ease International – making friends with people of all walks of life. She learns a lot more than what she expected to and she develops life skills and practice being a people person too!
