[quote=Anonymous]I am not in your market, but I work for a small lifestyle firm, and we would've hired you if you were willing to do 'grunt' work.   We built our compensation model around working moms.  For example, one attorney has a 1000-hour billable requirement and keeps a percentage of revenue billed over 1000 hours at EOY.  The downside of working at a small firm is that I've billed over 2000 hours in a busy year because I didn't have help.  I am sure something like this exists in your market, but finding it will probably be challenging.   I would start by networking as much as you can - attend CLEs, get connected with your local women's bar association, and contact your law school career office.  When you meet people, express that you are willing to start over in your career.  I am unfamiliar with government or nonprofit positions, but I imagine you could find something with a prosecutor or public defender.  I had a grandma attend law school with me (her ex paid tuition per their MSA), and she went on to work for 15 happy years in education law.  [/quote]
