WELCOME!
The Committee on Lawyers in Transition was
initially formed to address the
challenges faced by attorneys who have left the workplace temporarily,
for brief or extended periods, on maternity or paternity leave, or
because of family or other obligations, and then wish to return to the
workforce after such absences.
With the growing number of lawyers finding themselves in
"transition" not by choice, the
committee’s immediate focus is now on attorneys who have been laid
off due to the economic downturn.
If you are currently
unemployed, looking to make a career change, leave your current job or
transition back to the workforce after time away from the profession,
the Committee on Lawyers in Transition is here to help.
