Lawyers in Transition Career Development
2009 Live Webcast Series
The NYSBA Committee on Lawyers in Transition is sponsoring free LIVE webcasts for all attorneys in need of career assistance. If you are currently unemployed, looking to make a career change, leave your current job or transition back to the workforce after time away from the profession, the Committee on Lawyers in Transition is here to help.
Designed to help attorneys in transition, the Committee's webcasts offer advice and resources to increase the odds of finding rewarding work.
The live webcasts are free to all attorneys, but pre-registration is required. Each program will be recorded and links to the archived programs will be posted online.
