[Thanks to Julie Samuels for the idea behind this post. Julie is one of those lawyers-who-left-law-as-she-knew-it-behind-and-took-an-alternative-route-and-now-loves-what-she-does. Follow Julie on Twitter.] The best and brightest apply and attend and graduate from law school. We are well-educated, well-meaning, articulate, creative, interpersonal, motivated, savvy and effective. So it can be quite ironic that once we begin to practice law, much of what we are good at can often not be utilized to its fullest . . . if at all. What we do each day can in large part be disconnected from the skills we excel at. As (South Park) Johnnie Cochran implored in the famous Wookie Defense, that does not make sense. There is a major disconnect. Our skills are being misallocated. Re-connect. Re-allocate. Click here and let’s discuss your first baby step.
