legal sanity

The ABA’s Young Lawyer Division (YLD) has unveiled a new member service project called Unlock Your Potential. The project “will focus on the various career paths available to young lawyers and will provide programming designed to highlight various career options.” This year, the project addresses the ins and outs of creating a law practice so young practitioners can weigh whether solo work is right for them. The aptly named Hanging Out Your Shingle program launches at the ABA Midyear Meeting in Salt Lake City with a keynote talk by Jay Foonberg, author of How to Start and Build a Law Practice. You can learn more about the project and February 2005 meeting here (pdf).
