The legal profession has a well deserved reputation for consuming (and sometimes destroying) the lives of its practitioners. So for Christian lawyers, especially, the ability to maintain a healthy balance between law practice and life's other worthy endeavors is an essential survival skill. In the coming weeks I'll be sharing some of my own hard-won insight on successful life and career balance with future lawyers at University of Maryland School of Law and Widener Law. My planned presentation for the law students, entitled "Making Friends with the Jealous Mistress: Successfully Balancing Law Practice and Life," is based partially on a similarly titled essay I wrote for The Pennsylvania Lawyer magazine's July/August 2008 issue. Anyone interested in receiving a copy of that essay may leave a comment requesting same, along with appropriate contact info, and I'll be happy to email the pdf file to you.
My talk at Maryland is set for February 26, at 12:00 p.m., and my talk at Widener is tentatively set for March 19, at 5:00 p.m. The talks are being sponsored by the respective Christian Legal Society Student Chapters at each law school.

ReplyDeleteI am registered to take my LSAT in September, but my girlfriend, while once in favor of my going to Law school, is terrified that it will ruin our relationship. Any help is appreciated.
Just emailed the pdf. Godspeed!
ReplyDeleteHi Stephen,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great blog, thank you. I would like to receive a copy of your 'Making Friends' presentation as I am finding the balance difficult returning to study law at Birmingham University, UK, alongside my Christian development. It's a crash course!
Peace be with you, Amy
