about the book

Excerpt from the American Bar Association Web Store:

Many leave the legal profession on a temporary basis, because of illness, to raise a child, or simply pursue other interests. But does leaving the profession mean saying goodbye to your career? Julie Tower-Pierce challenges the traditional view of the legal profession as “either you’re in or you’re out”, and explains how to “stay-at-home” while keeping your foot in the door of legal practice.

This book will show you the “gray” areas that exist for practicing law while still remaining committed to your primary interest. It’s written to serve as a practical and comprehensive desk companion for lawyers looking to pursue dreams, passions, or interests which are separate and independent from the practice of law, but without giving up the law. It’s a book about the value of investing in yourself and multifaceted rewards of that investment.
