SUMMARY:Emotional intelligence and the law
DESCRIPTION:Conventional wisdom states that your book smarts and work eth
 ic will propel you to greater heights as a lawyer. But what about your e
 motional quotient (EQ)?\n\nEmotional intelligence\, or EQ\, is the abili
 ty of individuals to accurately recognise\, understand and manage their 
 own emotions and those of others. Emotionally intelligent people are ski
 lled at reading other people’s emotions and choosing an appropriate reac
 tion accordingly.\n\nThis session will be divided into two parts. The fi
 rst part initially focuses on the history and background of emotional in
 telligence\, whose term was popularised in the mid-1990s\, and covers fi
 ve main areas: self-awareness\, emotional control\, self-motivation\, em
 pathy and relationship skills. Attorneys from the transactional and liti
 gation worlds will give their opinion about how they draw on their EQ in
  the practice of law to achieve better results for their clients.\n\nThe
  second part of the session will be devoted to the use of EQ in the work
 place. Merely producing great results is not a guarantee of success\; re
 ally successful attorneys have the ability to interact with people above
  and below their stature in a way that inspires teamwork and commitment.
  Coming out of law school\, the emotionally intelligent lawyer knows how
  to deal with and placate demanding superiors. As he or she becomes more
  experienced and manages more people\, this lawyer can maximise potentia
 l and efforts. In the meantime\, the emotionally intelligent lawyer will
  be also utilising these skills to attract and maintain clients. Panelli
 sts spanning the range of experience will speak regarding their observat
 ions and provide advice regarding the issues that all of us face as lawy
 ers.
