Written by Harvard-trained ex-law firm partner Liz Brown, Life
After Law: Finding Work You Love with the J.D. You Have provides
specific, realistic, and honest advice on alternative careers for
lawyers. Unlike generic career guides, Life After Law shows lawyers
how to reframe their legal experience to their competitive
advantage, no matter how long they have been in or out of practice,
to find work they truly love. Brown herself moved from a
high-powered partnership into an alternative career and draws from
this experience, as well as that of dozens of former practicing
attorneys, in the book. She acknowledges that changing careers is
hard much harder than it was for most lawyers to get their first
legal job after law school but it can ultimately be more fulfilling
for many than a life in law. Life After Law offers an alternative
framework and valuable analytic tools for potential careers to help
launch lawyers into new fields and make them attractive hires for
non-legal employers.
Education leadership has been subject to a period of turmoil with
rapid social change, political demands for excellence, economic
pressures for austerity and the influence of technology impacting
on leadership roles in multiple ways. This book draws on real
examples of practice to identify the key challenges facing
educational leadership and how these might be overcome drawing on
recent research and interventions that have impacted positively on
learner outcomes and teacher retention. Covering all aspects of
leadership including school improvement, vision and values, working
with partners and leading change, the book launches the concept of
atomic leadership, advocating small steps to change for maximum
momentum and large-scale impact. It reveals how leaders can
cooperate to trial new ways of learning and disseminate their
successes and failures with a new honesty and openness about what
works in our schools. With reflective tasks in every chapter, this
text will inspire debate and inform discussion at staff meetings
and is essential reading for all school leaders as well as those
undertaking master-level courses in educational leadership and or
pursuing the National Professional Qualifications in leadership.
