WELCOME!
Welcome to the web pages of the Special Committee on Lawyers
in Transition. We aim to provide information and assistance to
lawyers who leave the workplace temporarily in order to take care of
personal needs and obligations – to raise children, perform
military service, care for elderly parents, nurse a friend, get an
advanced degree – and who then want to re-enter the workforce. Our
committee goal is to ensure that anyone who wants to re-enter the legal
workplace has the opportunity to do so.
Lawyers who want to return to fulltime legal careers after a period
away face many challenges in making the transition back to work. This
website will offer advice and resources to ease the transition, and to
increase the odds of finding rewarding work. Refreshing one’s
skills, getting up to speed on new legislation and case law, crafting an
appealing resume, scouting out different areas of legal practice that
might be good alternatives to one’s original specialty, networking
with other lawyers who can provide tips on job openings – all are
necessary parts of the re-entry process. This committee hopes to provide
help in all these areas, and to provide in this website a roadmap to
useful services and resources.
