Lawyers need to stop with their perfectionism. It hurts everyone in the profession. Especially when it's weaponized against minority or other "different" lawyers. leavinglaw.wordpress.com/2020/07/02/bei…

Lawyers--I'm sure this is none of y'all, right?

How has law's perfection obsession affected you? If you're any kind of different, probably a whole lot. leavinglaw.wordpress.com/2020/07/02/bei…

YES. Every single word. Judge Darleen Ortega is my Shero! Veteran State Court Judge Rips Bar Exam, Says Test ‘Does Not Function To Protect The Public’ abovethelaw.com/2020/07/vetera…

Not before time, but at least the pandemic is, er, *strongly encouraging* lawyers to embrace technology rather than fight it. Maybe all those aged partners at BigLaw who rely on admins to send/respond to their emails will at long last vanish. A girl can dream!

Agreed. (Says the lawyer who was so miserable she got cancer at age 29.) Mind-body connection isn't imaginary. The fact that lawyers don't believe it doesn't matter to our bodies.

I'm curious: Do any attorneys out there use #Scrivener for #legalwriting? I finally decided to check it out, and am BLOWN AWAY by how Scrivener can store research right with your drafts. Every lawyer needs this. IMHO. Thoughts?

Dolly is so badass. <3 her. She is a national treasure.

Law Professors Should Have More Practical Experience abovethelaw.com/2020/08/law-pr… Cue the wailing and gnashing of teeth in the legal academy. How DARE students expect to be prepared to go out and practice law right after graduation? What are we, doctors or something?

Should You Go To Law School? Sure, but only if you actually want to practice law. That's not the same as simply having a law degree. leavinglaw.wordpress.com/2020/08/31/sho…

CRAP! Why Am I Still Here? You thought you'd be long gone from law by now, but here you are still. Don't give up; get some help from an accountability partner. A friend, relative, or a career coach can really help you focus on making that change. leavinglaw.wordpress.com/2020/12/01/cra…

All Former Lawyers Are Bitter! How did I not know my entire career coaching practice was founded on the idiotic idea that leaving law would make some folks happy? leavinglaw.wordpress.com/2021/09/23/all…

All Former Lawyers Are Bitter! or at least, that's what smug kinda-happy lawyers say. I mean, it couldn't be that law fits some people really well, but not a whopping half of all attorneys . . . could it? leavinglaw.wordpress.com/2021/09/23/all…

Could your unhappiness in law be rooted in being a Highly Sensitive Person? Yes, it's a real psychological trait. Find out more! leavinglaw.wordpress.com/2021/12/01/cou…

Yes, yes it is. And damn if that isn't the saddest thing ever.

Now we know that composers are fiercer than lawyers. #outstanding

Hey #DOC, I'm writing an article abt Diabetes Coaching. Looking for those who have used one, to hear what they hoped for when beginning coaching and what happened. HMU via DM if you can talk before 4pm ET. T1 or T2, doesn't matter! #37yrsT1D
