Congratulations to those recently passing Georgia’s bar exam! After being sworn in, you will be an attorney at law. While it’s a notable achievement, your career is just beginning. This column outlines tips for freshly minted lawyers to help set the tone for future success and to navigate the ever-moving terrain of the practice of law. Although this column is oriented for our most junior lawyers, we can all benefit from a refresher on tips for growing as an attorney.

1. Embrace a Learning Mindset: Approach your first year with an eagerness to learn. You will soon discover how much you don’t know. Be receptive to feedback, seek guidance from mentors and colleagues and continuously educate yourself on the ever-evolving legal landscape. The harder you work, the faster you will learn. The habit of being eager to learn should persist throughout your legal career. No matter your year level, you can never learn enough.
