becoming more flexible
Here's an article from post-gazette.com discussing why relatively few lawyers opt to work part time. The piece mentions Deborah Epstein Henry's Flex-Time Lawyers LLC, "a networking and support group for lawyers who work a flexible and/or reduced schedule (or those who are thinking about working such schedules). Members, mostly working mothers who are juggling career and family, meet monthly for lunch to discuss topics relating to work/life balance in the law and occasionally hear guest speakers." Although I'm a content full-time practitioner, I recently accepted an invitation to learn more about the organization at one of its monthly meetings in New York City. I had a great time and met some terrific people. The FTL Web site lists upcoming meetings in New York and Philadelphia.
