Boston, MA (PRWEB) January 28, 2014
Join Life After Law author Liz Brown for an event with the Boston Bar Association next Wednesday, February 5 at 5:30 p.m.
Drawing from her experience as an ex-law firm partner turned professor, Liz Brown will identify the challenges and struggles lawyers face when considering alternate career options. She will lead an interactive discussion to show lawyers how to reinvent themselves and use their well-honed skills to find happiness and fulfillment in their post-law careers.
About Life After Law:
Written by Harvard-trained, ex-law firm partner Liz Brown, Life After Law: Finding Work You Love with the J.D. You Have (Bibliomotion, September 24, 2013) provides specific, realistic, and honest advice on alternative careers for lawyers. Unlike generic career guides, Life After Law shows lawyers how to reframe their legal experience to their competitive advantage, no matter how long they have been in or out of practice, to find work they truly love. Brown herself moved from a high-powered partnership into an alternative career and draws from this experience, as well as that of dozens of former practicing attorneys, in the book. She acknowledges that changing careers is hard–much harder than it was for most lawyers to get their first legal job after law school–but it can ultimately be more fulfilling for many than a life in law. Life After Law offers an alternative framework and valuable analytic tools for potential careers to help launch lawyers into new fields and make them attractive hires for non-legal employers.
