The Fulfilled Lawyer cover

Attorney Kathleen Paukert describes her personal journey to finding career fulfillment, and shares her best advice for how lawyers can do the same, covering topics ranging from large (how to choose a practice setting, and recognizing your lawyer personality) to small (how to furnish your office, when to lease a copier, and what bank accounts are essential). You'll find a wealth of practical step-by-step advice on starting and building your law practice.

I did not intend to read this book from cover to cover in one sitting but that is exactly what happened. Filled with humor, humility, and spot-on career advice, The Fulfilled Lawyer speaks truth about how to create the right legal career for you. This is real-world, practical guidance that will inspire both brand-new and seasoned lawyers to assess and make the changes needed to be a fulfilled lawyer. -- Laurie A. Powers, director, Center for Professional Development, Gonzaga University School of Law Law is a noble profession. Whether you are attending law school, thinking about retirement, burned out, struggling to find balance and meaning in your law practice and life, contemplating a career change, or in need of an attitude tune up, this book is for you. If you are struggling and unhappy with where you are and the sacrifices you have made to be a lawyer, this book is for you. You can build a practice that is in alignment with your values and your priorities in life. You can choose to be honest, loving, and noble. Indeed, you can be an authentic human being and still build a life and practice where you find meaning, love and balance. No excuses. Get going. This may be the most important book you ever read. -- James R. Sweetser
