Emotional Intelligence for Attorneys

1 hour Civility MCLE

October 9, 2024

Where: Zoom (instructions will be emailed to registrants before event)

Time: 12-1pm (presentation starts promptly at 12pm)

1 hour of Civility MCLE credit will be provided.

The LGBTQ+ Lawyers Association of LA with the Los Angeles County Bar Association’s Diversity in the Profession Section is proud to offer this highly-informative MCLE to our members & friends. 

Whether it’s building professional relationships with colleagues, co-counsel, or clients, adapting to changes in procedure, or working through difficult depositions, hearings, or client meetings, emotional intelligence can help you conduct yourself with civility in the legal profession . . . and be happier in it! This interactive class will not only explore the link between emotional intelligence and the skills needed for successfully performing as an attorney with civility but also help you gain insights into your impact on others and obstacles to an accurate self-perception. It will also identify techniques for applying emotional intelligence to everyday occurrences.

Attendance is FREE to active LGBTQ+ Lawyers Association of LA and LACBA DIP Section members and members of sibling LGBTQ+ Lawyer organizations, and only $20 for non-members (it pays to be a member!).

Presented by David Alan Perkiss (he/him/his).

As a supervising research attorney at the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, David directly supervises 16 research attorney and law clerk positions, delivers training on civil law and motion and professionalism, co-authors a monthly case law updates newsletter, and serves on the Court’s DEI Committee’s steering committee.

Previously, he worked as a research attorney and law clerk there, and as a litigator in the employment law field. David also serves as a Curriculum Committee member and faculty for the Judicial Council of California’s Center for Judicial Education and Research, contributing to the development of leadership education for court leaders statewide. He is a member of the LGBTQ+ Lawyers Association of Los Angeles’s MCLE Committee and LACBA's Diversity in the Profession Section, served as a crisis intervention and suicide prevention counselor at The Trevor Project, judges law student mock trial and moot court competitions, and volunteers with the Court’s Temporary Judge Program. David earned his J.D. from UCLA School of Law.
