Jessica studied Legal Leadership Essentials as part of her Master of Employment and Labour Relations Law
The Legal Leadership Essentials unit is by far the most practical and valuable unit I've undertaken throughout my legal studies. This unit provides you with an unparalleled insight into how lawyers and law firms tick, and what good leadership in the legal industry looks like. It is more than 'just another leadership course' – this unit equips you with the skills and knowledge to not only be the best lawyer leader you can, but to also get the best out of those you work with. This unit is an absolute must for any law student or lawyer working, or intending to work, in the legal industry. Jessica Gelsumini, Legal Officer at the Fair Work Commission
