Product Description
Product Description
Law school presents a clear and simple path: graduate, take the bar, become a lawyer.
Of course, that’s not the only path; just because you have a law degree, that doesn’t mean you have to use it to practice law. Both your law degree and your legal experience can combine to offer you alternative pathways into legal-related or non-legal fields that nonetheless require some of the transferable skills that are also valuable in traditional law practice. Neither is this a new phenomenon: for centuries, attorneys have taken their law degrees and achieved success in other fields.
Join our experts as we consider what alternate career paths are open for lawyers now, and discuss how, why, and when to make the move.
