25 Tips for the New Lawyer

By The Editors

Who hasn’t engaged in conversation about the worthless job law schools do of preparing grads for the real world of practice? (Wasn’t it the 1980s when ABA leaders began talking about “bridging the gap” between school and firm to prepare the ill-prepared for the realities of practicing law?) If you supervise new lawyers and are (ahem) a lot more senior, you wring your hands over newbies who lack fire in their bellies or a decent grovel in their step. If you are a new lawyer with an actual job and a bona fide business card, you’re probably trying to make your way on spit, string and raw instinct when it comes to the business part of practice. No job yet and dwindling prospects? Chances are you are contemplating hanging your own shingle, ready or not.
