About this title

From the Publisher:

The secret is out: many lawyers are professionally unhappy, tired of the stress, the hours, the paper-pushing, and the adversarial hastiness. And even as law school enrollments rise, more and more practitioners are running from the law. Arron's book--the first to break the code of silence--about the legal profession, has all the original practitioner interviews from earlier editions plus the latest online career resources just for lawyers.

From the Author:

I wrote this book in the late '80s as a way of exploring my own dissatisfaction with, and escape from, the legal profession. The book, mostly through profiles of successful former practicing lawyers, expresses all the reasons lawyers choose to leave the law, and how they overcame the barriers to change. As such, the book deals more with the "why's" of a lawyer's career change than with the "how's". Over the years, many lawyers have written to me, telling me how good it felt to read the profiles and realize how many others shared their feelings. We all know we're not crazy for feeling the way we do about our work. But it helps to have confirmed that others -- many others -- feel the way we do.
