Discussion Groups

Young Lawyers

Welcome to the Young Lawyers forum. Connect with other young attorneys who are embarking on new careers in a changing legal world, striking out on their own or searching for employment in a tough market.

Get a Life™ 2010

Attending Get a Life™ 2010 as a participant, speaker, or journalist? Share tidbits related to your upcoming presentation, expectations, travel plans, what you hope to glean from this year’s event, which Wii games you’re secretly hoping will be available during breaks, your experiences from Get a Life™ 2009, or anything else conference related!

Talk with other solo practitioners and practice management experts about balancing those responsibilities, growing your practice, taking advantage of new technology, delegating, finding work~life balance as a solo, and more.
