Good that law schools are helping law students get prepared for the outside world in an area of employment that makes up such a large proportion of lawyers.

I met a woman last week-end who wants to offer life coaching to high school, college, and grad school graduates. What a great idea. She could deliver it as online programs to make it more affordable and available.

It takes time and education, but it is happening! Thanks for your comment, Rick.

I think law school placement staff are coming around to the notion that new grads can start their own firm and be successful. I was at the ABA Annual Conference in Chicago and discussed this same topic with a few law school reps in attendance. They were interested in hearing my point that it is feasible with the right tools.

While in law school, a career counselor never even discussed with me the option of being a solo attorney. I had to talk with other colleagues and mentors for solo practice guidance. I hope career counselors start encouraging legal entrepreneurship!!

Yes, for all great men or women need tools to work with. My father as a legal counsel, always believed in support because it what make helps a man determine his course. Your work Susan is one of the greatest indeed as you bring knowledge and enlightenment to those who educate and enlighten others. Had my counselor worked with you, I could have taken the ‘lawful’ path instead of venturing into finance. More power to you.

I hope that some law school career counselors take this to heart as it would have made things simpler for me to have more guidance when I decided to go solo.

As always Amanda and Susan bring fabulous information to the profession, be it want-to-be solo’s or the people helping them make that decision and choose which path to take.
Having someone in a guidance position who has current information about going solo they believe in, to help a new or rezooming attorney, would will be a God send. Thank you both for a wonderful webcast. Now make sure the listener takes the information and believes!
