WOMEN IN TRANSITION:
Returning to Legal Practice or Considering an Alternative Career in Law
TBA (Spring 2012)
Today's legal environment offers greater options than ever before for women wanting to combine family and other personal pursuits with a rewarding legal career - including alternative careers in law firms, business, regulatory bodies, the public interest, community organizations, government, academia and the university, as well as a range of part-time and full-time options and share arrangements in more traditional practice areas.
"Women in Transition" is a two-day intensive program designed to increase your understanding of the new legal marketplace, highlight your options, gain confidence in yourself, and provide you with practical tools and tips to prepare you for your next rewarding career in law.
Each participant will receive a comprehensive Binder of Materials that include special readings and materials from each of the sessions in the program as well as additional information that will assist participants in their career transitions.
