The Moment to Lead is Now — from law.upenn.edu
Excerpts:
Why Now?

- The demands of the profession have changed and increased
- The shift in attitudes towards work has opened an opportunity to upgrade how we lead in the law
From these conversations, I took away some fundamentals of how lawyers can step up and lead more effectively from wherever they are.

Want to leave law? Here are some alternative careers to consider — from abovethelaw.com by Wendi Weiner
Your law degree does not limit you but rather expands career and business opportunities for you.
Excerpt:
Nearly six years ago, I wrote an article in the Huffington Post about how I used my law degree to get out of law. It became one of my most-read articles to date, as I transparently discussed my feelings about practicing law (the things I resented versus the things that I loved about it), the emotions I felt about staying versus leaving, and how I made a successful exit.
One thing I emphasized in the article was the notion that your law degree is invaluable to the business world and there is life after law. Each week, I receive multiple emails from readers of my column about how they can make the leap while leveraging the power of their law degree.
