More Description"Written by Harvard-trained ex-law firm partner Liz Brown, Life After Law: Finding Work You Love with the J.D. You Have 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."This wonderful book is the answer to the thank-God-it's-Friday syndrome that affects so many lawyers who dread Monday. Liz Brown shows that you can find work you love. You just have to know where to look. You can do good and do well. You just have to be creative about your job. Read Life After Law. It will change your life and the law."Alan M. Dershowitz, author of Taking the Stand: My Life in the Law"'How do I get out of the law?' is a question that lawyers constantly ask me. Liz Brown's Life After Law answers that vital question. She gives practical information and timely advice, plus, real-life examples of lawyers who've made it to the other side. A worthwhile read for any lawyer who's thinking of making a career change."Vivia Chen, senior reporter at The American Lawyer and the creator of The Careerist blog"
