What skills must a lawyer ensure his support staff have training in?

  1. Proper handling of client property and money

  2. Marketing and client acquisition techniques

  3. Advanced computational analysis

  4. Software development

The correct answer is: Proper handling of client property and money

Support staff in a law firm are responsible for assisting lawyers with various tasks, such as managing client documents, scheduling appointments, and organizing case files. It is crucial for them to have proper training in handling client property and money to ensure that these tasks are performed accurately and ethically. Option B, marketing and client acquisition techniques, is not a necessary skill for support staff as it falls under the responsibilities of the lawyer. Option C, advanced computational analysis, and Option D, software development, are not relevant skills for support staff in a law firm.
