From the American Bar Association Web Store:

“A terrific guide for women and men thinking of exiting or re-entering the legal field. Filled with lots of practical advice in an easy-to-use format, I wish it had been available when I was going through the process.”

–Amy Goodman, partner, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, formerly work-at-home legal editor and lawyer at the Securities and Exchange Commission.

“An outstanding, informative resource. A survival guide for women (and men) who choose to “step away” from traditional, full-time law practice — while staying connected to the law. Julie Tower-Pierce is a successful role model for what she advocates: keeping a foot in the law door.”

–Professor Jacquelyn Slotkin, California Western School of Law, co-author and co-editor of It’s Harder in Heels: Essays by Women Lawyers Achieving Work-Life Balance

“In this elegantly written book, Julie Tower-Pierce provides an informative, accessible and honest assessment of how an attorney can cobble together a career and a life that works in our crazy post-modern world. Reading the book is like having a brainstorming session over a cup of tea with a dear and knowledgeable friend. The book speaks to honoring all of one’s loves – the law, life’s passions, and family – in a field that would otherwise demand choosing one and casting away the rest.”

–Ellen Swain Veen, J.D., former Assistant Professor of Law and Director of Academic Success Program, Vermont Law School
