On Tuesday, June 16, I’ll be speaking on an alternative legal careers panel as part of Getting Back in the Game: How to Restart Your Career in a Down Economy, a day-long seminar sponsored by the New York City Bar and Vault.com. The panel runs from 1:45-3:00 p.m.

Here’s the full program agenda:

9:45 AM – Welcome by Patricia M. Hynes, President, New York City Bar

10:00 AM – Breaking Back into a Large Law Firm: How to Make Your Way Back into a Top Law Firm (panelists include David Lat, founding editor of Abovethe Law.com, who I can’t wait to meet!)

11:30 AM – Casting a Wider Net: The Rise of the Small to Mid-Sized Law Firm

12:45 PM – 1:45 PM Lunch

1:45 PM — Alternative Legal Careers: Exploring the Range of Options With Your JD

3:15 PM — Start Up LLP: Creating Your Own Law Firm (panelists include my good friend Carolyn Elefant, publisher of MyShingle.com and author of Solo by Choice: How to Be the Lawyer You Always Wanted to Be)

The cost for the program, which will be held at the City Bar’s headquarters on West 44th Street in Manhattan, is $30 for members and $50 for non-members. You can register at the New York City Bar website.

(I understand that there are plans to stream the event live, but I don’t have any details about that at this time. I’ll update this post when I learn more.)
