The key to your life is how you deal with “Plan B.” You can aim for Plan A. You can arrange for Plan A. But “Plan B” is what actually happens to you. It’s your resilience in being able to roll with the punches and move on to “Plan B” that really makes your life. […]
“In his new book Failing Law Schools, Washington University law professor Brian Tamanaha cites a remarkable statistic. American law schools, he reports, produce 45,000 new graduates each year; but recruiters expect only 25,000 job openings annually through 2018.” Edge International Consulting. This is staggering! If you do the math this means from 2012 – 2018, […]
I’ve always been my own guinea pig. I’ve been this way since I was a kid. I would tell my parents I want to experience it myself, make my own decisions. I didn’t want their experiences. I wanted the excitement of experiencing for myself what would happen, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I […]
A belated Happy New Year to all of you. Now that we’re a few weeks into 2012, hopefully you’ve all settled into a routine and you’re holding fast to those resolutions you set for yourselves. As a February Bar Exam taker with a full time job I find routine to be crucial. When I studied […]
Yesterday I had an incredible conversation with two legal innovators from the academic world who absolutely blew me away with their vision and how they are quite possibly already changing the face of legal education across the world.

For years now I have received a newsletter by Denise Hedges and Barbara Mercer. I just love the way they write, their topic matter, and the inspiration they provide. This past week they sent out their newsletter offering an article about geese and why they thrive. It seemed so appropriate for the solo practitioner, their […]
One year ago today, with great excitement and much trepidation, I launched Rachel Rodgers Law Office (though I’m not even sure it had a name yet). So today, to celebrate with all of you, I want to do a couple of things. First, I want to tell you the things I wish I had known on that official launch day, so that hopefully it will help those of you who will be starting your own solo practices soon. Second, I want to tell you the things I’m glad I knew and did, also in the hopes that it will help soon-to-be-solos. Lastly, I want to encourage you to get past your fear and allow your own wildest dreams to come to fruition.
(This is a little long but I hope you’ll find it worthwhile) In a recent article entitled “Startup Generation Ready to Fix Economy” we are learning that today’s millennial is not only not a slacker but those who are taking their job security into their own hands is increasing exponentially. Forty percent of those in […]
Anywhere. Everywhere. That’s Where You’ll Find Me. When I was first considering solo practice, one of my main struggles was choosing a location.
