ABSTRACT
This chapter explores a 'Conceptual Meaning and Subtext' and 'Describe and Interpret'. There are two specific exercises from the project that could be transferred in toto to the law firm experience. The 'Beyond Text' project was an intriguing one because it sought to study legal pedagogy and practice in a new light; to examine whether the visual and movement arts could insinuate their way into the modelling of intellectual and ethical development of lawyers. The law firm business model may well be changing forever. Business development skills and legal project management skills are being taught to attorneys to enhance client service and increase the communication of budgets and status updates in cases and deals. Most law firms expend a fair amount of resources on the professional development of their attorneys and in addition, to providing mentoring, career guidance and coaching; they plan, create and deliver substantive training to all the attorneys at the firm at all levels.
