More Information “When I was in private practice, I sometimes arrived at the office looking at my watch and think, ‘Oh, my God, how am I going to get through the rest of the day?’” – Sarah, a former New York practitioner The secret is out: many lawyers are professionally unhappy ... tired of the stress, burnout, long hours, paper-pushing, and hostility. This lively, provocative book – the first to break the professional code of silence back in the 1990s – features all the original interviews with successful practitioners who left the law for greater personal and financial rewards. This new edition includes the latest Internet career and self-assessment resources for lawyers. Here’s what the critics say ... “A well-written examination of lawyer dissatisfaction. Important lessons and real warnings for those who are in to stay ... and those dying to get out.” – Texas Bar Journal “After reading this book, you might be performing a public service by passing it along to some bright kid headed for law school.” – Wisconsin Lawyer “If you’re an unhappy lawyer, Arron’s book will provide some reassurance, some strength, and maybe even some direction, for your next career.” – California Lawyer About the author Deborah Arron was the first to write and speak openly
about career alternatives for lawyers. A Seattle civil litigator and
bar leader for
10 years, Ms. Arron left her practice, and set out to discover
why she and so many lawyers were unhappy with their careers. From
that research
came this first book, and subsequently launched Arron’s second
career as an author and national public speaker on behalf of lawyers
eager to make a mid-course correction in their careers.
