legal sanity

Curt Rosengren posted a great question over at Worthwhile blog. After stating that he’s witnessed a paradigm shift toward career decisions “made with an eye toward creating a rich, meaningful, fulfilling life,” he asks us to let him know what shifts we see “out there” and what shifts we’d like to see. In the legal sector, I’ve heard an amplifying call to address public discontent with the profession and to remedy rising rates of lawyer attrition and burn out. Client demand for trusted counselors and alternative fee structures will propel a shift towards reinstating the law as a real service industry that deems its customers’ long-term interests paramount.
