I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Cole Silver of The Silver Group, Ltd. for his well-known Expert Audio Series. Cole and I talked about finding careers within the legal profession outside of the default mainstream jobs — one point I focused on in particular was that many new lawyers consider a law firm position to be the standard career choice, and when that choice is unavailable or unsatisfying, they don’t know what to do next. The more these lawyers know about the tremendous array of fulfilling jobs that they can pursue, the better off they, and the profession, will be. I’m Exhibit A.

The Expert Audio Series has a lot of these kinds of stories — scroll about halfway down to find my entry in a section featuring people I greatly admire like Stephanie West Allen, Carolyn Elefant, Susan Cartier Liebel, and Arnie Herz. Other luminaries featured in the EAS include Burkey Belser, Larry Bodine, David Maister and Gerry Riskin. It is definitely worth your time to look into the resources Cole offers through his series, and I really appreciated the opportunity to speak to his audience.

A note to regular readers: personal matters are taking me out of the office and the blawgosphere for the next couple of weeks, although I’ll do my best to post intermittently if I can during that time.
