Law school presents a clear and simple path: graduate, take the bar, become a lawyer.
Of course, that’s not the only way; just because you have a legal degree, that doesn’t mean you have to use it to practice law. Both your law degree and your legal experience can combine to offer you alternative pathways, into legal-related or non-legal fields, that nonetheless require some of the transferable skills that are also valuable in traditional law practice. Neither is this a new phenomenon: for centuries, attorneys have used their law degrees to achieve success in other fields.
Join the experts as we consider what alternate career paths are open for lawyers now, and discuss how, why, and when to make the move.
