[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually I know many transactional attorneys who have done this. During SAH years you can even do light consulting for past employers or Axiom-type places to keep your resume current. Especially if you have BigLaw experience first. [/quote] I wouldn't advise a young person to plan on SAH for a considerable period of time, but part-time options can work. I'm a lawyer (in-house) who went part-time after my second child was born. At the time I thought I'd go back to full-time work once the youngest was in kindergarten, but we had a third child and I ended up staying part-time. We're lucky to be able to afford this and I'm also fortunate that my employer has seen the value of retaining an experienced lawyer who knows the organization. My youngest is now a first-year college student and it's pretty clear that I'm never going back full-time. When I told my boss this, he said, "Yeah. . . I'd do that if I could." [/quote]
