A law firm management training method. In a multi-step process, lawyers and non-lawyers may be trained regarding ethical rules governing business relationships between lawyers and non-lawyers. Trainees may be educated regarding prohibited and permitted activities in such a relationship. Also as part of this training, instruction may be given regarding forms of agreement that may be permitted for a business relationship between a lawyer/law firm and a non-law management entity. Such training may occur in a live seminar setting, via audio or video tape, or may be delivered during an in-person solicitation.
