Since I began practicing law, I am slowly becoming one of the go-to people for my small but growing network of other new lawyers and students aspiring to become lawyers. Many come to me for advice on challenges they face in their careers. Others want to discuss what they can do today that might foster their future careers. While their needs vary, I find that much of the advice I ultimately give is along the same lines. So I've decided to share some of the advice here and hope that other young lawyers may find it helpful.
