[quote=Anonymous]30 year practicing lawyer here who also does hiring at our firm and has a good finger on the pulse of hiring in the profession in DC: Agree you should volunteer. You are competing with career lawyers who did not take time off and newly minted lawyers who are young and have recent knowledge of the legal profession. Volunteer wherever you can (DC bar runs volunteer programs but make sure you actually are competent to give legal advice) or try to see if someone will hire you as a paralegal (less likely). Maybe even admin work at a legal aid or nonprofit would scratch the itch. Finally, who says you need to go back to the legal profession? Think about other fields you might enjoy. As I said, I am an attorney who has had a successful legal career for 30 years but can't say I have enjoyed it much. Good luck.[/quote]
