Written by Harvard-trained ex-law firm partner Liz Brown, Life After Law: Finding Work You Love with the J.D. You Have provides specific, realistic, and honest advice on alternative careers for lawyers. Unlike generic career guides, Life AfterLaw shows lawyers how to reframe their legal experience to their competitive advantage, no matter how long they have been in or out of practice, to find work they truly love. Brown herself moved from a high-powered partnership into an alternative career and draws from this experience, as well as that of dozens of former practicing attorneys, in the book. She acknowledges that changing careers is hard much harder than it was for most lawyers to get their first legal job after law school but it can ultimately be more fulfilling for many than a life in law. Life After Law offers an alternative framework and valuable analytic tools for potential careers to help launch lawyers into new fields and make them attractive hires for non-legal employers.

“I’m a big believer in the power of serendipity, and Life After Law
is an excellent guide for lawyers who are thinking about making a
career change. The lawyers Liz Brown profiles are terrific examples of
people who have taken their skills and education and applied them in new
ways. Law and medicine are probably two of the most difficult
professions to leave, and yet the skills and knowledge both require are
broadly adaptable in other kinds of work. Life After Law is a must-read book for lawyers who dream of different careers.”
