Summary:
"More lawyers than ever are at retirement age, and, at the same time, retirement takes on hues not envisioned by our fathers' generations. Lawyers may leave the practice, but their skills, attitudes, and approaches bring different perspectives to lives beyond the law office. How do you know when it's time to leave? What are the options for a lawyer who's just hit his or her late 50s or early 60s and who wants out? What employment options exist for those who don't have comfortable retirement plans but who really want, and possibly need, to get out of the practice? This book will help all attorneys plan for their eventual life beyond the law, whether they are looking to supplement a pension, pay for the better things in life, or start an entirely new career"--Publisher's website.
