Synopsis

Great opportunities exist for law students and practicing lawyers outside the traditional practice of law. This important resource shows you when and how to choose a nonlegal career; the specialized skills legal training provides; how to plan and conduct a job search; and provides details on careers in business and industry, government and public service, associations and institutions, and entrepreneurial ventures. A resource section provides surveys and listings of nonlegal careers in several categories, and a listing of publishers and suggested readings on nonlegal careers.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

"Many lawyers choose to use their legal skills in key positions that don’t involve the active practice of law, including challenging roles in government, education, corporations, and even nonprofit organizations such as the American Bar Association. In this new book, the ABA Law Practice Management Section has given practicing lawyers and law students alike a valuable resource for planning and moving into a rewarding and successful nonlegal career. I enthusiastically recommend it."
– Robert A. Stein, Executive Director, American Bar Association
