When You Need Wise Counsel

 
“The new edition of Deborah Arron’s ‘What Can You Do With a Law Degree’ is yet another improvement to what is already the classic text for lawyers who are questioning their career choices. – a Boston law career counselor

“When I decided to leave my practice, I used Deborah Arron's book to decide what career to pursue. As soon as I started reading, I instantly felt that – as a lawyer herself – she understood exactly what I was going through. Her self-assessment exercises brought me a lot of clarity, and helped me decide what career to pursue.” – an Amazon.com customer

Back in the 1990s, Seattle lawyer Deborah Arron was the first to break the profession’s code of silence with a book about lawyer unhappiness – Running From the Law: Why Good Lawyers Are Getting Out of the Legal Profession. Soon after its publication, the book was given imprimatur of success by the ABA Journal and Time Magazine. Two years later, Arron, by then a successful author and national public speaker, followed with another hit – What Can You Do With a Law Degree? – and then a third book about free-agent lawyering (The Complete Guide to Contract Lawyering). Deborah has more than 100,000 law career books in print, and we’re happy to announce that new editions of all three books are now available. In addition, we invite you to read – and download – all of Arron’s original Career Tips for Lawyers.
