Most law firms avoid posting jobs on Indeed or LinkedIn due to high costs. Instead, they publish them on their own websites, bar association pages, and niche legal boards. LawCrossing finds these hidden jobs, giving you access to exclusive opportunities.

Summary: A legal career is not always the best fit for some attorneys. Once they find that out, they need advice and information on what other options are out there.
“Leave Law Behind” is a blog that tackles the issue of when the legal industry becomes too much. The writer of the blog, Casey Berman, attempts to help unhappy attorneys leave law. The blog is for disgruntled attorneys that want to get out of their legal career as well as for attorneys that love their job but may want to change their day-to-day work routine, and for attorneys that just want to look into other opportunities.
Berman graduated from the
University of California Hastings College of the Law in 1999. A few years after graduating, he left the legal industry to pursue other options. He was asked to speak about his experience by Hastings career services in 2009. This is when he received the idea to start the blog. He now works at Schireson Associates, a boutique market research and strategy consultancy that focuses on enterprise leaders in media, technology, and consumer products.
One recent post from his blog is titled “We lawyers have the skills that the world needs”. This post features a video of Casey that recaps a conversation he had recently with one of his clients who is leaving the law. It discusses how this client’s former
lawyer skills were able to be transferred to non-law jobs. He also sometimes posts personal stories of former attorneys that have left the law and pursued other careers. Check out his blog if you are interested in
leaving the law behind.
